Go back and read your catalog more carefully. 2002 catalog for Sacramento Vintage Ford page 269 shows the original headliner 48-52 $150 and has 8 pieces to the kit including screws and grommets. Covers roof, back wall (6 pieces) and the 2 kick panels.
I installed one in mine - they work great!

Also note that the Sacramento kit comes with the rear window sized for the 48-50 trucks. You must cut the hole for the window bigger for the 51-52's. I have a friend who did this and said it was not a big deal and turned out just fine. This is what I plan to do eventually.

i asked them at sac and they said that the back wall was not covered.
i thouigfht that it was under the back window but not over the tank of the back wall. what actually is covered? how hard was it to install? how does it finish out around the ends at the doors and windows? is it something that can be put on and taken off, or once it is on is it on unless you damage it trying to get it off? i want to put a liner in but i dont know if i should wait untill i have the cab completed so i dont have to pull it out every time i do body work to the cab as not to damage it.

Ok, I better clarify what I said. I'm using the in-cab fuel tank so my back wall is covered. It goes all the way to the floor on the corners, but it is cut out for the tank. If you're moving your fuel tank the center of the rear wall will be exposed.
Installation is easy - holes are pre-punched to match the factory screw holes and has a binding material sewn on the exposed edges. It can be removed for upgrades, but I'd recommend leaving it off until you're finished and install it last.
If you remove your in-cab tank, you could improvise by using a dense cardboard material under the window where the tank used to be. The original is about the density of a cereal box cardboard, but is 1/8" thick. I even painted mine to match the interior contrasting color.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, around the doors and stuff. They use a short oval head sheet metal screw with a metal grommet. They come with the headliner kit.
I'd recommend you attend a few car shows in your area and look at the areas you have questions about. Always ask permission of the owner before you touch anything and most guys are happy to answer your questions. Take a note pad along, 'cause you won't remember everything later.
