interior vinyl ideas

I was thinking (do you smell the burning?) about getting some vinyl thats the same color as my door panels & and dash pad in my 73 to cover my headliner, using 3m adhesive and maybe some staples or something, and also covering the kick panels(the passenger one has a hole in it). would it be best to use 3m spray adhesive? and should i use the dark blue of the door panels and dash, or the light blue that the rest of the truck is painted?

Hey I have a 73 also, and mine is the two tone blue. I'm not sure about the kick panels, but I have thought seriously about the head liner. I even went down to the fabric store here in town, but they didn't have the right color. I was thinking of using the dark blue that my dash pad and door panels are. Anyone else have ant opinions?

My 1977 truck had a white cardboard type headliner. I took it out and used it as a pattern to cut one out of a piece of paneling. The back side of the paneling is showing which I painted black to match the rest of the interier. It looks good . My sun visors were also white, I painted them black also. After 2 yrs. they still look good.

I recovered the headliner with gray headliner material (cloth with a foam backing) from a auto upholstery shop. Used spray glue and in 15 minutes I had a 'new' headliner. I think it looks great.
