s-cab headliner
ive done a few searches and honestly are tired of reading and getting nowhere. go ahead and flame me for it lol, but mine has no headliner, is this something that you guys have a common pattern and build it? something i can only use a factory replacement? where can i get a factory replacement? lmc says they cant get it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found mine at the junk yard. I actually snagged it out of a '95 F250. I brought it home and set my trim on it to get a pattern to trim it down (it was slightly bigger than the '79 headliner). I only had to trim about an inch off the outside border. Then I recovered it with some fabric to match my interior and now I have the cool dome light with the spots too!

I've got one from my truck, '79 f350 supercab, that is trashed but will work for an outline to make my own... If you pay the postage I'll trace it out for you on some butcher paper, roll it up and send you a head liner patter in a tube. Let me know. I always planned on making an aluminum diamond plate one but lately I’ve been toying with the idea of taking the butcher paper pattern and putting a nice thick coat of bedliner on it and trying that out. Could be color matched to the bed liner on the cab floor, low gloss and might have some sound deadening effects to it too...

Formica countertop material. I rent a shop right next door to a cabinet guy and we used the thinnest material he had. It stayed flexible for the double bends and worked perfectly. Total cost, material and all, was probably around 70 bucks IIRC. That was for leather, not vinyl, as well.
