Headliner Trim Question

[Black71Shorty]

Has anyone installed a headliner with trim in a 67-72 truck not originally equipped with one? If so....do you know an easy way or does someone have a pattern for the holes in the cab to allow the push-in clips that are on the back side of the chrome trim? Thanks Coby

A couple of people here have done it you need template cut out from a cab that came with it.

Iknow what your talking about and I have the old headliner from my truck that I copied to a piece of old paneling then covered with the newer style cloth that I got at a loacl sewing shop...

as far as that trim heres what I can tell yea My clips where all broken off the plastic trim...my headliner has a few dabs of liquid nail that hold it to the roof ( once in put a board across it to the seat till it hardens) the plastic trim wil never hold it anyway ( thats why the clips broke off in the first place) then I used the screws to hold the trim up.....

if you ghave the trim you already have a template a couple pieces of tape on the joints trace it in the midddle and then add 3/8" or so when you cut it

Try this from Brothers, I followed it and it did work but is a PITA.

As stated in other posts, the trim will not hold the head liner up, you'll have to glue it up. I've put it up without the chrome & I think it looks much cleaner - since you'll have to glue it up, use some double sided tape & stick it up there & see what you think
