Headliner for supercab

I'm trying to find a headliner for my 78 SuperCab. Sites like LMC sell standard size but not supercab, does anyone know if the headliner for a 78 bronco would fit in the front and the back could be cut to fit?

There is no rear headliner for a 1978/78 Bronco. These Bronco's have a removable fiberglass rear roof. The '78/79 Bronco front headliner is different than an F100/350 Regular Cab headliner.

Super Cab headliner is one piece.

I have an old cracked one, plan on getting an oversized luan sheet of plywood someday and making a new one by tracing.

I saw one made out of a plastic material that the guy got from a Lowes or something and it was sold in a 5 foot by 10 foot sheet, less than 1/8 inch thick. He said it was used in restaurants or something on the lower portions of walls?

If you find a vendor, I am interested.

I built mine out of fiberglass... I've built a few for guys on here but they are all local to seattle, shipping something this big is a real pain and may be one of the reasons no one has these for sale.

This is the headliner layed up on my mold prior to trimming to size.


And then I covered with headliner material

I love the look, sadly, middle of Kanas is not close enough to drive up.

Good work sir!!

Yeah kinda far.

it is pretty easy to build though and doesn’t require any special tools but it does cost about $125 in supplies.

If you have the time and patience, you can make one out of the 80-96 SC trucks. There are plenty of these at the yards. The headliner materials are very durable, too.
Buckin, your headliner looks top notch. I wish I could justify a trip up there to grab one.

I've "made" headliners before by getting a 4x8 sheet of plastic cardboard (Templast or other names) and laying old headliner on to trace and cutout, worked for single cab headliners, would have to 2-piece it for a supercab headliner though, which I have done for a single cab headliner once and taped the 2 pieces together on the unseen side.

You should try messaging him directly. Hopefully he’s still floating around. Post is from 6 or 7 years ago.
Sorta visible. I used 1/4” fender washers and tek screws to hold up the middle, screwed into the cross bracing.

I used Masonite, just a 4x8 sheet that’s not quite big enough. It’s possible to order 5x10 sheets, just not a high priority. I had the old one I used as a template. If you don’t, start with cardboard or corrplast (plastic cardboard) for a template. Cut little bits til it fits perfect. No take backsies.

It's kind of wavy and has a little hole in it. probably not worth saving.

The cab is really nice though if you want that. a couple dings and zero rust. free.

Are you still making these? I live in Rochester and would be willing to buy one from you. I’m new to the forum, trying to figure out how this site operates. Thank you, Jordan

This company is selling them. Pretty pricey.
