1wonton Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Anyone have pattern for the B model headliner? $800 for a piece of cardboard is a little steep for my pocket. I'll try and make one for that kind of dough. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70419-b-model-headliner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licensed to kill Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have one from one of my trucks that is sagging a bit from a mouse nest that I plan to use as a pattern to make a new one. We will see how that goes. If it works well, perhaps there is a market for a cheap pattern for those that are not making a "correct" restoration.

Be glad send it for the shipping. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70419-b-model-headliner/#findComment-509126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

teched Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have pieces of one that I am going try to use as a pattern. I think if we are going to keep these trucks going we as a community are going to need to start thinking out of the box. There will be a definite market for a pattern, even if we have to sew it. Or pay someone to sew it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70419-b-model-headliner/#findComment-509169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a problem with the repro's?. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70419-b-model-headliner/#findComment-509170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no attachment points in the cab roof. The factory liner is much stiffer and in one piece.

hicrop10 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Could you use 2 sided tape Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70419-b-model-headliner/#findComment-509366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 There is a gap between the the headliner and roof. Good old duck tape will hold the pieces together but doesn't give enough support to correct a sag.
