I took a back panel apart for a pattern and now I use it to trace out the new ones as I did with the door panels and headliners. Thanks. I was going to have someone do my Superliner interior but maybe I'll give it a try. Would you happen to remember where the black quilted material came from? I looked on eBay and didn't see any like yours.Thanks Edited December 26, 2016 by keg1 Added info Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48015-started-making-door-panels-for-my-trucks/page/2/#findComment-356111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 The thinner more expensive black diamond quilt with the fake buttons came from a seller in Canada called upholsteryworld I like the fake leather shiner diamond quilt sold by showtimefabric its thicker and less expensive that's where I bought all the red material from too.

Popular Post ranchhopper Posted December 26, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2016 Today I finished the other back piece I ran short of black material so I had to punt and use some red to hide it looks good to me I started covering the armrests too with the smaller waste pieces. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48015-started-making-door-panels-for-my-trucks/page/2/#findComment-356166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Lol I figured that was just messing with you.

ranchhopper Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 These warm days were perfect for installing my new door panels and back piece in my old RS I made a couple of kick panel pieces today to cover the pillar between the door and cowl area. I'm still on the stump about the headliner it had the old plastic one piece in it I want to go with the more modern two piece with the console on the ceiling. Problem with the two piece being an older cab the mounting brackets the console screws into are not there. I could take a spot weld cutter and take the ones from the old superliner cab and pop rivet them to the inside of the cab but that means drilling more holes in the roof of the cab. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48015-started-making-door-panels-for-my-trucks/page/2/#findComment-359421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Found some nice seats at my friends junk yard today 90 dollars for the pair I'm going to take them off their base and bolt them to my air ride seat pedestals and use them in the RS.

Popular Post ranchhopper Posted February 6, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Got the headliner and console in today there were a few gaps but I had some material left over to fill them in with I have to tuck in the pleated part at the back where it folds over the ripple shows from the sharp fold it takes to go behind the back piece. I started on making the base plates for the air ride seats to be mounted on today.

Freightrain Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I wish my B model cab was squared off! I'm liking that pleated material. My old cardboard headliner is in such sad shape I don't think I could get it all stuck back together to cover it with that pleated material? If I had more room to work I might be able to "form" some new cardboard and put material on it and do it in sections of sort. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I used the old one as a template of the new one I used those Kraft panels that are polyethylene coated same as the original so water wont damage it. The headliner in this truck was put together in four sections like the original being the first one it has its flaws but everyone after this should get better. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48015-started-making-door-panels-for-my-trucks/page/2/#findComment-360946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
