Do any of you have a drawing with measurements for the headliner of a 1950 Chevy truck? I would like to make my own. My email address is [email protected].

When I made my own ABS headliner for my Suburban, I used construction paper to make a pattern. Then transferred it to the ABS. Paper and masking tape could be your friend.

Joe Alan You could buy a cheaper damaged one from carter, then use it later,or if just half of your old one is there copy it. Hard to make the pattern . Make my own out of cardboard then adjust it on the next one !!

Thanks for the help, sometimes I think I couldn’t make without the help on this forum.

I have an original one removed from a 1951, but there are 2 problems: it doesn't lie flat after all those years and two...it has shrunk over time. So you'd have to make yours larger and then trim it to fit.
