Lmc headliner
I purchased an lmc headliner for my 65 f100 but it does line up properly, it's too narrow and too long. I'm my Google searches I've seen 65 with the headliner in it. What do I need to do to get it to work. I know that the headliner is for a 67 I believe but is the cab that different?

1965/66: Custom Cabs came with a perforated headliner, Standard Cabs did not.
The headliner is composed of 4 pieces, two for the roof, two for the side panels between the doors and back glass.
The front piece of the roof panel is very large, it's retained to the short rear piece (where the dome lamp is located) with 5 clips (C4TZ-8152140-A).
The side panels are right and left specific, these are flat, when they are pushed into place, they curve.

Putting the headliner in was for me the single most frustrating thing I did. I Broke the back piece trying to get it in place. I swear I've no idea how people get these things in using the clips. I ended up making a new piece out of PVC and cutting it slightly narrower. I still skipped using clips and used screws instead. It's in and looks good but good god. I should ad I soaked all the pieces before attempting the assembly. I guess I should have bathed them.

I put a used perforated headliner in mine a few years back ( salvaged and installed the same day) and I know it sounds crazy but I swear the two back corner screws did't line up with the holes right. It was such a struggle that I'm genuinely surprised I didn't break any of it.

Here are a couple of links to headliner installs.

A while back a member posted a file with drawings that could be expanded to actual size to give you precise dimensions.

I put a 4-piece kit in a '66 F350 a few weeks ago. the dome light piece needed to have the four notches cut another 1/8" to 3/16" deeper so that I could get the piece to snap into the top clips. Was sweating bullets hoping not to break it! Yikes. the other three pieces were much easier to deal with. For the dome light piece, I put it into the rear window gasket area first, then snapped the top into the five clips; then fastened the left and right sides with the screws last. A thin drywall spatula was used to get the dome light piece to "slip" past the sharp edges of the clips.

By interesting I mean that it seems there are two sources of power for the light: The fuel gauge sender for the door switch and the light switch for the headlight switch. Am I right about this?

How many of the '67's that you've seen, did you open the doors and looked for courtesy lamp switches?
Courtesy lamps were an option for all 1967 F100/350 Standard & Custom Cabs and Rangers, but most of the trucks that came with them were Rangers.
