I have a 65 crew cab that has no headliner. What kind of headliner did these come with. Were they the hoop type with the metal bars that went across the roof or is it the cardboard type with all the little holes in it. What kind of molding went between the headliner and the windshield and back glass?
I need to come up with something to cover the roof because it is like riding in a tin can.
Here are a couple of pics of the headliner out of my 63 Crew. Much like the regular cab cardboard headliners, except no henscratch's. This one is gray and is made of the same kind of fiberboard.

Showing Overlap:
I think I can reuse this one by having it recovered with headliner material. FYI: The bends don't seem as severe as in the single cabs, so it would be easier to fab up a new one. Mine had a bunch of insulation (cellulose?) wadded up inside (I was afraid it was some kind of nest so I bug bombed it good before I removed it).
On the 63's and 64's there is no trim around the headliner (although there is a piece of chrome trim on the CC's around the top of the door). No trim at the overlap. Like the standard cabs, this has clips across the windshield which the headliner slides into, then there are holes for screws into the braces across the room and above the back windows. You have to understand that this (as were all crew cabs of this era) was a "work" truck built to haul men and tools to the oil fields and back. Not sure how this will apply to the 65-66 crews.
Here's a pic of it in the truck (note back is pulling down due to damp insulation sliding to the rear of the truck).
and here's a shot of the roof framework:

MY 66 Crown had a piece of mohair glued directly to the roof stamping, The crowns did not have any intermediate supports for the roof all wide open space and a single stamping for the roof. It also had signalstat lights rivited directly to the roof. Nothing fancy...
The facctory crew 65 66 used a 2 piece head liner of press board similar to what grits posted.
Those pictures are exactly what I was looking for. As garbz2 said I do not have any of those supports accross the cab. I will need to put something like that in though. The rear corner behind the driver dented while I was driving down a real bumpy road. I was able to push it out with my hand but once I put in a headliner I don't want it to happen again.
Glad I could help. I was surprised that there was as much structure in the roof as there is. This is the first "slick" crew I've ever seen so I'm checking everything out as I begin to disassemble it.
Yours is heavily reinforced, possibilu specified that way by the purchaser to reinforce the roof.
I have eyeballed factory and crown crews with roofs that looked like godzilla stomped on them.
Carharrted, look for the center support out of a 64 to 66 as the are a little taller due to the raised roof. I used 2 supports from other cabs i cut up in my 66 to mount the roof center console and split rod doors headliner.
