I want to replace my headliner and don't want to use the same kind. Does anyone have any ideas for another one I could use?. Like a cardboard Type one that would fit or maybe someone has made there own and could give me some ideas...

 

Afraid the cloth type is the only thing available for the early 2nd gens. I still think they look much better too. They're not easy to install, but they're cheap. I had never done one before when I did my '71 and it came out as good as those I've seen professionally done. Probably took me three times as long though.

 

When I tore the cloth off of mine I found the board was in very good condition, So I painted it black. You have to look close to tell.

 

also fun fact in a non t top car the upper console in an extended cab silverado/sierra will fit with almost no work just 2 holes drilled for mounting

 

Remember the OP's car is a '72, so anything pertaining to later 2nd Gens isn't relevant.

 

it will still fit he will only have to do some minor trimming to get the curve correct and it looks pretty nifty when done i am in the process of trying to work on mine
