Rear bulkhead / headliner bow?

Post by oldtrucksrule »

I have '48 170. The headliner was removed a couple years back and I've had another one sewn up. My question is, is there a "bow" that clips into the clips on the rear bulkhead? I have the other bows but, seem to be confused on how it's attached to the rear area behind the hat rack. I have the other bows and I'm thinking the rear one may have been misplaced.

Thanks, Cory

my bows were rusted out so I replaced them with fibre glass fly fishing blank rods. no more rust stains on the headliner.
