Headliner bow

I received my new cardboard headliner, but the 2 places I checked with no longer have the center support bow. Has any body come across this problem, or can I see a picture of what one looked like so I can maybe fabricate one. I can't imagine how to make the center seam look nice. I have a '54, 3100, custom cab. Thanks in advance

Re: Headliner bow

If I remember correctly the center strip has the front headliner fitting into the bow and the rear headliner goes on top of the bow so the seams are hidden. Or vice-a-versa

Re: Headliner bow

Thank you Get Down, I'm in bigger trouble than I thought. I'm missing the center and rear and windshield trim. Do you know a place that sells them? Nice truck. Your trim looks like it is wood grain. is it? Nice to get help from a fellow tar heel. I was born in Greensboro, (67 years ago). Thanks again for your help.

Chevyguyase I would look on eBay use their search engine. Your right my trim does looks like wood grain, I had it dipped to mimick burl wood. It came out pretty nice thank you. I hope you can find what your looking for.
