take the round end of a ball-peen hammer and use it to tap the high spots down. then you can use alittle body filler or even weld the holes closed. sand or grind smooth, paint and your done.

someone put one of those cab visor things on my cab. that's what i did to fix the holes. tap them below the surface a bit, almost like a tiny dent. it will be easier to hide them which ever way you decide to fill the holes.

Hotrod, The headliner angles down to just above the rear window, I don't think it would look real good just left without the moldings. Maybe you could search a salvage yard for the trim parts? They seem to stay in fairly good shape after many years. You would also have to come up with some way of holding the headliner up due to the original was held up by the trim. Lorne

Think the moulding was all the same. If not, it will all fit well anyway. I have 2 complete black sets, one from a 75 and another from an 84, both the same. Check back with me in a couple of months after I put 1 set in, I should have another set left over. Just can't get rid of either yet.
