This headliner

Post by myfordeatschevys »

Has anyone bought one of the headliners?

CUSTOM HEADLINR 67-72 FORD STD

Or have a link to any other aftermarket headliners?

I was going to post the same question. I was thinking about getting one since they seem to be back in production again. At least that's what the guy at Blue Oval told me last week.
Was wondering about the fit and if it mounted using the stock holes or you had to drill.

From what I remember it used the factory holes! you should install good insulation on the roof panel or the speakers sound like a can! I will get one for my next project truck!

$250? Isn't that the exact same thing JC Waterwalker used to sell for about 60 bucks? I guess if the speakers are decent it is worth it and sure makes for a great place to mount the sound system. I hate seeing holes chopped in doors.

Just a FYI, I know of a few folks that have installed these and they don't breath very well and lock in the moisture and condensation. After a few years the cab roof will rust out from the inside out.

The trucks do that anyway, so I can see that it would be worse. It might be a good idea to treat the inside of the cab top with something to kill rust before those little pinholes start peeking through.

Would drilling a series of tiny holes in concealed places on the headliner help with the moisture problem?

I'd really like to figure out what fixes are available for this particular product, as it would solve 3 or 4 problems at once for me.
