Re: Headliner

I guess the big difference on these later model square bodies is that the OEM headliner is soft fiberglass and the replacements Captkaos has are on a hard ABS backing. Sounds like the ABS backing is better, but in my case, recovering the OEM fiberglass was better because I could not get out the seat belt bolts in the cab to remove the plastic trim in the corners. The soft fiberglass will bend enough to get over the plastic corner trim without removing it. I wanted perforated vinyl like my old 73 had but the upholsterer said it would not stick to the fiberglass.
