A question for Ranchero Owners Regarding Interior Trim Around the Rear Window

Can a Ranchero owner please post a photo of the Rear Window as viewed from the inside of the cab. When I purchased my Ranchero it was in many many boxes.  As I sort through the parts and pieces there is one area that I'm not clear on, and that is the rear window interior trim. My Ranchero has screw holes on the inside of the cab, around the rear window, leading me to believe there should be some trim or garnish molding around the rear window on the inside. Is that correct? I have the 3 small  trim pieces that mount above the rear window and go over, and to the left and right of the interior light above the rear widow.
So, a picture will tell me a lot about what trim pieces I need or what holes to weld up.
As always, thanks .

The three pieces you have are the correct ones that go along the top, the only other pieces are the triangle shape ones that go on the inside roof pillar, they fit between the window rubber and wind lace and have three screw holes. the three upper pieces are mainly to cover up the edge of the headliner and help hold it in place.

Thanks for the reply AND the photo. I have all of the pieces you have described.From the photo it looks as though there is a molding that goes completely around the rear glass. As I look at the photo I see the black rubber gasket, next to it ,there appears to be the trim/garnish that I have questions about. Am I correct.........that there is molding that surrounds the rear glass on the inside?
I'm going to a very old junk yard today where there is a '59 Ranchero and I'll take a look. I know there are some differences in the area above and around the rear window between '57's and '59's..
Thanks

The area you are talking about is part of the body, its painted the same color as the dash and garnish moldings there isn't any other pieces of molding around the back window.

Thanks.......you confirmed what I saw today on a '59 Ranchero that is in a time warp junk yard.Nothing has been added to this yard in the last 25-30 years!
So, your confirmation says I have a lot of holes to weld up around the rear window.
Thanks

Not sure if there are holes originally around the window. Maybe someone in the past screwed a piece of plywood there after they broke the window, I've actually seen that on one ranchero yeas ago and a pickup truck done the same way  :003:

That's an impressive looking interior, 57chero. That steering wheel looks right at home there.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

A nice taught headliner as well!  Mine has a few wrinkles, I just tell people it looks like me........

There is a prize ? Great, I want to win that F code Skyliner ! :003:
not Mustang Jim, the spokes of the horn ring don't have round holes.
