Adding a Headliner in a non headliner truck ??

Ok need advice. I added the moulding to my 67 but I cut off the tabs and added a screw in each of the 4 corners for support. Is this not enough even if I glue the headliner up? Will is warp and disform from either heat or weight of the headliner? Anyone have experience with this. Dnot want ot to look bad 5 years down the road.. Thanks

The existing headliner in my truck was installed just like yours. 4 screws and the headliner was glued. I' don't have any pictures of it but it looked fine. The PO had installed it three years prior to me getting the truck.

LMC truck sells a molded plastic headliner that I got. It has a place for a stereo or in my case 3 gauges along with it comes with 4 speakers there. It is screwed into place. Looks nice if you ask me.

Talking Re: Adding a Headliner in a non headliner truck ??

Mine is a add on it's been in the truck for years. I added some screws to it but it looks fine.
As long as the board is good and stiff it shouldn't sag. Mine isn't glued either.

I need to swap that red out for the grey.
Thanks for reminding me! Ha I hardly look up when I'm in the truck.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

That's good. I really dreaded the thought of making all those holes in the roof.
