What is the best option for replacing the headliner and the padded dash in a 1976 f100?

 

some folks make their own,out of plexi,or lauan plywood and wrap it ,others purchase the abs plastic and paint it to match color schem....Dennis Carpenter would be a good choice for dash pad,or ebay used

 

For my headliner, I had the original to start with but it was in really crummy shape. I got some 1/8th inch thick peg board from Home Depot - the kind without the holes though. I traced my old headliner, cut out the new, and then covered it in fabric using spray adhesive and wrapping it around the back and securing it with glue.

For my dash pad, mine was cracked in four or five places along the top. All I did was covered it in fabric similarly to how I explained covering the headliner above. These are just a few ideas.

If you don't have either, I suggest one of the parts suppliers like Dennis Carpenter, LMC Truck, Bronco Graveyard or National Parts Depot, searching on eBay, your local craigslist, or checking at a junkyard, although finding either in good condition is sometimes tough.

Here is a picture of my dash pad that I covered.

 

Thanks for the ideas.

I like how you matched the dash and headliner to the floor mats! Just need to do the seats next. Look at Sunbrella for a water proof type of material. And no, I am not being sarcastic! I live in camo when I am not in my Navy Uniform which is a type of blue camo we like to call "aquaflauge"
