Re: interior question
Yes, it is possible... if you look at the vendors, (lmc, classic, etc...) most have headliners made for trucks that DIDNT come with them...
I havent done one, but I have heard is is not hard but does involve drilling a couple of holes.

Re: interior question
I put an LMC highliner in my plow truck. Id didn't have factory headliner. The plastic pillar trim, etc came from a donor truck.

Re: interior question

Re: interior question
I'm 6' even and I can tell ya that if you go offroad and your head bounces side to side much you will bump the speaker. The sound quality of the included speakers is OK for my stock FM radio. I Would imagine you could use spray adhesive and coax some fabric to make all the curves happen but not sure.

Re: interior question
It can be done two ways. You can get the headliner for trucks that weren't equipped with one. Or you can buy the all support/cover pieces and use the one for truck that were originally equipped with the headliner. You have to paint the covers to match your interior. It is more work and expense to get all of the extra pieces, but it gives you a more finished look.

Re: interior question
Don't know where the bidding will take that item, but that is a great price.
