1978 Supercab Headliner
I'm looking into replacing my headliner, after I get the rusted drip rails fixed.
I really like this one -
LMC Truck Parts - Page 87
however it only comes in Standard Cab.
The factory style headliners Dennis Carpenter has are also Standard Cab only.
Does anyone have any info on anyone else making Supercab headliners? Especially in the style that LMC has.
My only other 2 options are paying a shop to custom make one or trying my hand at fiberglass scratch building one myself.

Forgive me for asking but, whats wrong with a custom shop making a headliner, I had my headliner redone in my LTD for a reasonable price, and they had to mak it from scratch and its a 4 door car so its huge. I don't remember the exact price because it came part of a package deal with th e seats I had them reupolster all for 800 bucks, but I got a true custom job that was done by an older couple that had been doing it for years. Since the headliner is just cardboard in these trucks, why don't you try and make it yourself? Its just a thought.

I plan on looking into a shop making a custom one. But like anyone else here, I'm trying to save as much money as I can right now! 
The other reason for doing it myself is cause then I can say I did it myself!
I'll be sure to post what ever I find out when I get a quote from a shop.
Would be nice to have a "off the shelf" price to compare to.
Thanks,
