Default Head liner

YES,,,, I have been gearing up for this job for a while now.....
I started on it today... but still have a long way to go...
I am insulating the roof and taping off the holes...
I also added some bracing under he original headliner
( whats this for you ask..) lol well I have been lurking
around in those other forums Diesel ones.. were they do
things that others dont do... lol but there is a console out
there from a factory manufacture the guys are installing
C.B's in them... so I prepared the ceiling for one if I
am lucky enough to find one at the junk yard.

I made two more device mounts today. One for my Ham portable, and one for Da Wife's Iphone. We have two days of road trips, and I thought it would be nice for hers to be easy to get to. We have to be in Richmond(about 1&1/2 hours away) for a viewing, and back the next day for the funeral. I'll be testing how well my head unit handles two phones.

It'll be a few days before I get pics of them up.

to cut off the dome light bracket it was in the way for my insulation install

Now would be the time for one of those brake light cameras, before you finish the ceiling.

STAN.... I got it covered.. I have given it much thought as to how
I would be able to add thing in the future... the plans I have for the
interior.. well I wont release to much info.. but I will say..
stay tuned.. lol...
But your right it would be alot easier right now ..
but really I would need both at the same time so with that being said
I will be incorporating a PVC tube.. that will run the length on the left
side.. and it will allow me to run any wires I want to for the future.
same tool I used for running the seat wires.. it comes with 3
sections that are 6ft long ... and i will have no problem running the
wires.....
