Yes But:
1.The shipping is exorbitant for a crummy looking cardboard headliner
2. The real deal IMHO, is to put in a fabric headliner. Shipping is cheap, the headliner looks fantastic.
All the ones I have done (at least 10 of them) have had fabric headliners. I have fabricated the wires for the last 5, but there are wire kits sold now.
I don't have any pics righr now. I have to scan a bunch of slides before I can post anything.

I posted this somewhere once, but:
I glue in auto upholstery tack strips above the windshield, just above the door opening, and to the level of the bottom of the rear window on either side. I made corners out of flexible trim board and covered them with extra material. You can see pictures on http://www.wlsheadliners.com/bowstyl...cars-p-16.html They make them for all kinds of hot rods and customs.....
The way that they make headliners is to ask you how many loops you want sewn in and at what spacing. I have made the wires and the wire brackets myself The idea on the wires is so you can put the wire in the loop, then put the wire and headliner together into the bracket hole. I made the wires so that there is a bend, so once it goes in the hole, you push it past the bend and it stays. the headliner being secured on both ends keeps the wire vertical. This is the way all old headliners were put in except that they were made to fit in the rear window rubber like on a 47 Ford. That is a little beyond what we would do especially since the truck does not even have a "reveal" moulding on the rear window.
