headliner

I recently bought a 71' F-250 4x4 and the cab lights were shot and letting water in and ruin my headliner. Does anybody know where I can get a new one. Also I was looking for a website that showed the number of these trucks built in 1971. My serial # is 6855

Thanks,

I saw the ones that dennis carpenter has. What is the difference between perforated and non-perforated?

Yea, perforated is a headliner with about a million holes and non perforated is one that is solid. My 67 came with a perforated one and my son's 79, a solid one.

You can buy the solid board from a local upholstery shop and use the old one as a template and cut a new one out and even cover with a headliner material to match the color scheme of your truck for about 30 bucks total. I did this in my crewcab and it turned out great. While your in there you could insulate the roof also.

Just count in the x and y direction and multiply. Saves time for other compulsive obsesive activities.

Does anyone know if you can use vinyl paint on these to match original? Also, what kind of paint for a steering wheel?
