Would a headliner from a 93 f150 fit directly into my 86 f150? both standard cabs.

 

Yes, except there are two extra holes for the sun visor clips that earlier years don't have.

They hold the end of the visors in place. You can drill your cab and install them easily though.

 

Thing is tho, my 86 doesnt have a headliner n didnt come with one. What would i have to do to install one?

 

You are going to need all of the trim pieces that hold it up from either an XL or XLT.

2 - A pillar trims
2 - A pillar to B pillar panels
2 - B pillar (seat belt retractor) trims
1 - piece that goes over the rear window

 

So basically ill need to take the whole nine yards off the other truck along with the headliner? would i need to do any drillin or anything on my truck to get it to fit and work?

 

The parts off the other (newer) truck won't work.

The seat belts mount differently on the B pillar.

You need to find another 80/86 and get the parts off of it, or change your seat belt setup.

You will need to drill 4 holes for the sun visors like I mentioned before and make sure your dome light is the same.

 

What about just getting some kind of adhesive to put on the back of the headliner to hold it up on the roof?

 

What kind of difference is there between the headliners? Besides what Stosh mentioned on the extra holes...

 

None.

They are all the same except for the two extra holes for the inboard sun visor clips (by the rear view mirror - 80/86 don't have these) and possibly a different hole depending on what dome light you have.

I have a 91 headliner in mine that has been recovered by my friend that owns an upholstery shop. After taping with foil tape, he covered right over the two extra holes for the inboard sun visor clips because I did not want to drill extra holes in my cab and 80/86 visors are different and don't have the cutout for the inboard clips.

They also stopped making the Fawn interior after 86. I could have used later model Saddle Tan visors, but they are darker and made of cloth instead of vinyl.
