Re: Headliner install in a c-10 custom??
if you do any drilling/cutting, you need to know, there is less than 1/4 inch betweeen the inner and outer sheet metal towards the front of the cab.
The previouse owner of one of my old trucks just took a drill with a phillips bit, and drove the secrews through the top of my cab. It held the headliner in place... but the screws were sticking out the roof and gave a LOT of people somethig to laugh at.
I installed a headliner in my longhorn, a base model C/30. All I did was spread 1/2 a tube of liquid nails on the back of the headliner, and stick it on. I used some 2X4s on the seat to hold some 2X2s that went left to right up againt the headliner. Left it like this overnight. 5 years later, and I still KNOW that headliner will never come off without a fight.
The chrome trim looks nice, but in all reality, it'll fade over the years and look bad.
