Hey fellas,
In process of restoring my 1961 F-100 stepside and need to order new headliner for cab..Using LCM catalog,I see for `61-`64 non unibody only have option of 2 piece headliner?I like the `57-`60 type 4 piece kit with two side flaps but wonder if will fit in my `61?..or do I have to go with 2-piece for `61-64?Any help would be greatly appreciated before I order the wrong piece..thanks!....Josiedad

 

Order it from Dennis Carpenter, as LMC is a middleman and jacks up the price.

I thought the 61-66 had the same 4 piece kit?? Better check on that.

Regardless, I got mine from DC and they are awesome.

61-63 or 4 have the lower roof and use the two piece kit, the 65-66 trucks take the 4 piece kit because of the higher roof line. and X2 on buying from Dennis Carpenter.

Welcome to FTE!

 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO FELLAS!NEVER KNEW ABOUT DENNIS CARPENTER AND WILL FOR SURE START USING THEM!WISH COULD HAVE BACK SOME OF THE $$ I`VE GIVEN TO LCM OVER PAST FEW MONTHS...OH WELL SHOULD HAVE JOINED UP WITH YOU GUYS SOONERGOT TO CHECK WITH THEM ON WOOD BED PRICES AS WELL....TALK TO YOU GUYS AGAIN SOON.....JOSIEDAD

 

My 64 looks to have a 4pc kit but dc doesn't list a 4pc kit for 64?

 

For the wood bed stuff check with MAR-K products of Oklahoma

There are several places to get your parts. LMC is cheaper on some, Dennis Carpenter is cheaper on some, you get the idea. Mac's and Dennis Carpenter seem to have a little better quality on most items. Also check out f100.com they have more hard to find parts at reasonable prices. I just put in a fairly large order and used all 4 of these companies. By checking prices at all of them I saved about 150$.

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP ON THE HEADLINER FOR MY `61 FELLAS!NOW MY MECHANIC TELLS ME I COULD USE AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FOR MY `61 F-100 223 MOTOR DUE TO A CRACK IN MINE!I`VE LOOKED IN ALL CATALOGS AND SEE THAT CANNOT BUY A NEW ONE SO GUESS NEED JUNK YARD OUT THERE IN USA SOMEWHERE THAT COULD HELP ME???ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OR CONNECTIONS ON FINDING THIS PART?ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!THANKS.....JOSIEDAD

 

I located one in less than 60 seconds but it was on the expensive side ($185).

I used this site:

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

I have found some good deals on there in the past. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for and how rare it is.

 

Lots of junkyards will have them. I just saw nice a pair of exhaust manifolds for a 66 352 last week. The trick is to check yards that show inventory online, like Pick-n-Pull out here, or let you fingers do the walking & call yards up before you drive out to try a pick.

 

JUST FINISHED PUTTING IN HEADLINER FROM DENNIS CARPENTER IN MY `61 F-100 AND FIT BEAUTIFULLY!!THANKS ON THAT FELLAS!!NEXT STEP IS REPLACING WOOD BED....ANY THOUGHTS ON WHICH COMPANY HAS BEST PRICES WOULD BE APPRECIATED....DO NOT SEE COMPLETE WOOD BED KIT FROM CARPENTER???
