My 1964 F100 is in the shop for a full body restoration. I bought a new headliner from LMC for a 61 - 64 F100. The shop has told me my truck was built very late in the model year (VIN sequential number 553366) and apparently needs a 1965 headliner. Can you shed any light on anything else that might be different?
Yes, but my shop says the 64 headliner doesn't fit, it is too narrow by about three inches. I guess we will find out when the 65 headliner arrives. I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot.

What do you mean by narrow?
1964/66 roof is exactly the same. The R/L corner pieces came flat, have to be bent into place.
There's a large front section that uses clips to attach it to the shorter rear section where the dome lamp is.
The headliner pieces must be moistened with water using a spray bottle to make them pliable enough to fit in place. It is actually a major PITA to install.
The shop doesn't know what they are talking about. The cab is the same 64 and 65 except for the floor on a 2wd. Here is a 64 Custom Cab perforated 4 piece

1981: I installed a genuine Ford perforated headliner on my 1965 F100. Didn't use a drop of water. Lined up the side pieces...then pushed them into place.
Installed the two main pieces, everything fit perfectly.
I have seen an original 64 standard cab with 44K miles and it had the 2 piece perforated headliner that had never been changed. I thought 65 and 66 went to a non perforated headliner but wouldn't the size of the pieces all be the same regardless of perforated or non perforated?

Here's the 1964 Salemens Facts Book pictures and both Standard and Custom cab show the 4 piece headliner. Never know what might have happened IRL.
So who has the four piece headliner for a 1964 Custom Cab. National Parts Depot, LMC and Dennis Carpenter are all showing the two piece item for 1961 - 1964, and a four piece item for 1965 - 1966.

That is weird. The first one is even non perforated by the look of the picture. I wonder if because it is an actual truck(note the two speed and parking brake) if that is the difference?
