$10 headliner

Post by truckguy »

Pics coming soon. It looks great in the truck. Cheaper then buying new. I made it out of thremo ply. Used the old headliner is cut out the new one. Then I put in small speakers and they sound great in the headliner.

Hey now...I like that. And it looks a whole lot better than the piece of fridge cardboard I have in there now. :D

I bought it at the local lumber yard. It was $10 and some change. for a 4' by 8' sheet. And it is smooth. It's easy to cut with shears and it is flexible. It is used behind Aluminium siding and it was popular at one time, but you can still get it.

Yup thats the stuff. It is as close as you can get without being a oem. Also works good for backing on car headliner as well, my Dads used it for years.

It the stuff behind sideing on older homes. It looks good in the truck. It pretty close to the oem headliner.
