1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
I would like to finish the interior of my 41' pickup this winter, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to stay stock and I have some of the interior pieces I need, but I don't know what I'm missing and I have to idea how to install it. A google search was useless, or at least the way I worded the search returned a bunch of fancy headliner, door panel, etc. installs which doesn't help me at all with a stock interior. The same for a search here on the forum (which I'm not a fan of, the search function not the forum!).
I've studied as many 1941 pickup interior pics as I can find, but I still don't have a clue what I'm doing. I even contacted an online dealer for Cartouche about installation instructions and they said they didn't have instructions for installing that kit. The pieces I'm looking to install are the headliner, panels around the rear window, windlace around the doors and the kick panels. I don't have any installation hardware or tools. I attached a pic of the interior so you can see I have a long way to go! Any advice is welcome. Thanks. Last edited by quik; 10-05-2020 at 10:42 AM. |

Re: 1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
Looking at your photo you are missing the metal strips that go above the doors and at the back of the doors. Those strips help hold the windlace and are not reproduced. Quiet Ride Solutions make the headliner and the pieces that go around the rear window etc. Check their website for the kit.

I didn't know there was a metal strip down the rear of the door. Does it go from the floor to the metal strip above the door? |

Re: 1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
I've attached four photos that I would think should help you. These are my '40 but should be quite similar to your '41.
There is a bracket in the center of the roof that accepts a screw and finish washer to hold the headliner in place. I believe but am not 100% certain that all '41 pickup's had a headliner. So, you should have that bracket in place.

Re: 1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
Yeah, that's the interior as it is now. Thanks for the pics they're very helpful. I do have a bracket in the center of my roof for a screw to hold up the center of the headliner.
Can I ask a few questions?
Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated. Shawn |

Re: 1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
Ok, here we go. I called MAC's auto parts and they were a huge help. I explained my situation and they forwarded a copy of the installation instructions. I attached the pdf file of the instructions so you can download them.
This gives step by step instructions on how to get the windlace, panels, hidem and metal brackets in place and explains were all of the tack, clips and screws go. Thanks for the pics and wish me luck! |

Re: 1941 Pickup Interior Install Help
quik, thanks so much for posting these instruction. I have been planning my windlace installation in my 41 pickup as well and been picking the collective brain here on the Ford Barn. Since my truck came with the headliner and rear corner panels already installed I am just putting together a few of the other pieces.
