Any red headliners from factory? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**chewychevy67** · 05-15-2011, 11:14 AM

has anyone seen a truck come witha factory red or orangy red headliner? i would like to dye one to the 67 68 truck red interior color and would rather use one that is already a red color rather than from green or black.

remember, they didn't have headliners till 69.
I have seen one red headliner in a junkyard... was a black 69 or 70 CST with a red int. Looked sharp.

yeah i know and they were probably more on the red side than the orange/red 67 color. ive been looking for one a picture of a factory one for a long time. just wanted to know if they even existed.

I have a factory maroon from a 69 also. That was the one year only color. That is an odd one that is perforated from the factory.

That would be an early 69 truck.
At the begining of 69, the headliner and cargo light were both added to the CST package. The very first ones rolled off the line without either one, then they were produced with that odd ball headliner, and then finally they got the cargo light added. The odd headliner was replaced with the normal one midyear or so from what I have seen.

I took this from a 70 cst.I have seen the same color in 71/72 cheyennes.As stated above I have also have 2 removed from 69 gmcs that are not the same style.

**chewychevy67** · 05-17-2011, 12:44 PM

that is definately way more red than the 67 red/orangy color. maby it would be best to dye a black aftermarket one rather than use a red original.

Maroon 69 headliner. Not too common.

I believe the bright red headliners are '70-only. I didn't think Cheyennes were available with red interior?
