I am doing away with the cardboard 2-piece headliner and was thinking of going with the one piece headliner. Does anyone have any advice on one piece headliners that they have been happy with? I was looking at the headliners from chevy duty and brothers and they are advertised about the same, but are about $50 different in price. Just hoping that folks have some experience to share with the one piece headliners. Thanks

Welcome to the bolt. I haven't had any experiance with 1 piece headliners, but there are others on here that have. I plan on putting one on my 52 in the near future. I imagine that the headliner from CD and the one from Brothers are of the same quality, it's just that one of them costs more. Good luck on your truck.

Everyone that uses the 2-piece headliner seems to always say that it's too short at the back??

I don't know about the 1 piece headliners out there. I plan on making my own. My truck already has a home-made (probably a Texas pro did it) one-piece headliner in that looks pretty nice. When I take that out, I'm gonna look at how it was made and mock up my own.

I also plan on adding a shelf of some sort across the top of the windshield area ... I don't have sun visors there and after 3 years of driving my truck daily, I've never needed a sun visor! That surprises me, but I guess it's because my windshield is tinted at the top and does a great job. I think a shelf up there would be great for tossing stuff ... ciggies, notepad and pen, etc.

I bought a ready-made. The fit was crap and I sent it back. Bitter experience has taught me that all after-market stuff for these trucks is crap.

Best to make your own headliner or have an upholsterer do it. Find one who's retired and likes to keep his hand in.
