Roof liner
Hi everyone, been using my 'burb everyday since i got it (couple of hundred miles a week !) and now it's coming off the road for the winter to do some work on it,
Does anyone do a headlining kit for a '69 burb ? also need the bars or whatever holds it in place, I'm taking the vinyl roof off (Uh oh !) cos water comes in (Bigger UH OH!) , going to start making the new top tail gate too, I'll take lots of pics Cheers Wayne |
Re: Roof liner
Welcome!
No one makes the hard board head liner (yet anyway). Although there is a fabric version out there that is being sold, but it just doesn't look right when installed to me any ways. The bows, you are just going to have to find a guy parting out a burb, since those are not reproduced either. Nor is the chromed plastic strips that clip onto the bows. I am working on making my own head liner boards out of thin panelling you can get at a lumber store, making the card board templates are a pain so make sure you have plenty of patience! |
Re: Roof liner
rod doors makes a headliner. I don't think they utilize the crome/plastic trim. I'm thinking it was around $600. I used plastic sheets with 1/4 high density foam topped with 1/4 soft foam coved with a Softhide imitation leather. pics upcoming when I'm done. I'm trying to track down some flex steel (tensile steel, tempered steel, about 1/16" thick , 1" wide everyone has a different name for the steel) I'll wrap the steel with leather and upholstry scew them to the bows. $250 so far.

Has anyone got any good pics of the headlining bows for reference ? i might cut some out of stainless with the plasma cutter and polish them, Thanks again Wayne |
Re: Roof liner
I don't know for sure but I have heard that Jim Carter Truck Parts has the headliners for the 47-54 suburbans so they might have them for the 67-72's. I haven't started researching to find that part yet but if I find something out I will let you know.
