Personally, I'd fill them and go with stock. I have yet to see a custom int. that i like. (full custom, not small custom touches) But that's just my opinion.

I have the stock one in my truck ( no pics ) and think it's the only way to go. Just my .02

69mychevy · 07-21-2002, 04:28 PM

either of u hav any ideas where to get a cheap stock headliner?

Longhorn Man · 07-21-2002, 04:35 PM

Cheap...no idea.
I found the headliner to be afordable, it's the chrome trim that goes around it that is unreal.

You can buy the cloth covered foam backed material from sewing shops. It was on sale in Seattle from Pacific fabrics for $6 yard, 54" wide, below is some in my panel without trim arould the front.

First thing to do is throw that old cracked plastic trim in the trash can. Glue your new headliner in with construction adhesive. I made a little brace out of 2x4's and a bottle jack to keep upward pressure on it while it was drying. Dont forget to hot glue your vinyl edges down on the backside so they cant ever pop out on ya. Good luck.

Here's my headliner - the liner is original but I replaced the plastic chrome trim. Got the trim from Chevy Duty for $99.95.
