Question '64 headliner

Long-time lurker; first-time post. Great site! I have a '64 short wide, with no headliner. I see two different ones in catalogs (2 or 4 piece) How do I know which one is right?

My 1964 has the 4 piece originally. It is my understanding that difference is early 64 or late 64. You should be able to use either. I would guess that you could see if there are existing screw holes in the "border" area of the 2 piece or existing holes in the "border" area for the 4 piece to determine which your truck had originally.

'62 f-250 headliner

Mine was pretty beat up. I found a good one in a f-150, must have been about a '66. It was about 6" too short in the back, & had a different fit near the windshield/vent window. If I cannot find one in a junkyard for the '62, I'll have to order a 2 piece from Dennis Carpenter for about $150, + shipping via a freight Co., as it is too bulky for UPS, etc. Art J.

sometime in 64, Ford changed the cab on the trucks. If you look at the top, it got raised by 1 1/2"-2". The taller cab requires the 4 piece headliner.

'64 cab got raised? That's interesting. What changed? Are the doors the same? Windshield? Or is it just the interior head clearance?

just the interior head room. Look at photos of 61-63 and then look at 65-66 to see the difference.

Speakin of headroom...........

Speaking of headroom and roof changes, have any of you guys ever seen a pickup with the bigger F-600 or so, style 'raised' roof panel on it?
Like the ones in this link >>http://www.michellesfords.com/N_Series_Page.html
Every time I see one of those I wonder how that would have looked on a pickup.

I went to that site earlier today and was thinking the same thing.
I think they might'a looked kind of top heavy, but I bet the F250 and F350 would have looked OK with their bigger wheels to balance the look out some.
