It doesn't have all the dimensions, it is a pattern. You print it out on a 36 or larger plotter, and then cut it out. Then place it on a piece of Cardboard, or FRP. I used FRP )Fibre Reinforced Panels. Frequently, used in gas station restrooms. It does need to be heated to make the bends, but it holds well, and it is waterproof. You can cover it with cloth or what ever you want.

I used the same thing to make mine with the smooth side out. I will be covering it to give it a finished look, but yes it works well. I used carboard and tape to make templates from the roof inside the truck. She ain't perfect, but it does the job for now.

This what the FRP looks like once it is covered with vinyl. The clips for the headliner came from eBay (LMC or Carpenters).
