I have a 68 n700 which is the same cab as the 61-66 f series as most of you know, my N has a "high top" cab and a fiberglass headliner in it. the rubber trim around the edges has shrunk, I have it at my local upholstery shop that has been in business for probably 50 years. They can't find anything that will work like the factory trim. Does anyone know if there is a reproduction of it available?
You might try Steel Rubber Products in North Carolina. They specialize in Ford rubber products. I have a 1968 Ford N 750 but mine has a steel roof. Can you share a picture of your truck with the raised roof? I would be real interested to see what that looks like.

It is a steel roof, your cab is the same high-top version, I believe they started in 1966 with a higher roof for my room in the interior. Mine has a headliner in it that I believe was factory.
Ns aren't as bad as C series for cab stuff, but I think it's time for a fabrication plan.
I've seen that when reading thru the forum. It's crazy that there aren't a bunch of parts for the c series considering they produced it for over 30 years.
Sorry to say, those pictures are terrible. 2/3 are out of focus and appear to be taken through a pane of glass.
That said, I'm kind of surprised your upholstery shop has struck out. This kind of stuff used to be fairly common, and resto shops still exist to buy the stuff. You haven't supplied crude dimensions -- which is where you start with this stuff -- but the generic term I'd use for searching is "windlace".
The stuff you want is thinner than this, but I'm not going to guess at the thickness of your fiberglass panel or how deep the groove needs to be; suffice it to say that there exists a wide spectrum of stuff to finish the edges of sheet goods, in all different sizes and made of various materials. You might not get white, though, as black is the default when I've gone chasing this stuff in the past.
The shop brought out windlace, everything was too thick and have a metal core and wouldn't work. I have the complete piece itbhas shrunk though, I might try a heat gun and see if I can make it grow back into its shape.
