Cardboard Replacement

Use for:
1948 to 1963 Delivery

Black Only

Truck and Delivery cardboard headliners were originally Gray color only

1947 to 1948 Truck & Sedan Delivery were the only years these vehicles were equipped with a fabric headliner

Our reproduction headliners for Trucks & Deliverys are made from a tough ABS material that prevents sagging and has the same crushed grain finish as the door panels. They were originally equipped with cardboard headliners

Windlace is the cloth-covered cord that forms a seal around the inside of the door frame. It is the first item installed during headliner installation and is fastened to the Tacking Strip. The Windlace color would reflect that of the headliner or in some cases a body color.

Wire-On Welting staples over the Windlace to hide the staples in the Windlace and/or Headliner – on Station Wagons and 1947-48 Trucks. It is the last item installed during headliner installation.

Tack-strip fits in the perimeter metal track and is what the Windlace and Wire-0n attach to. It is held in place by small metal ‘bend-over’ tabs.

Headliner Trim Panels are the short upholstered panels just below the headlining on each of the ‘B’, ‘C’, and ’D’ window posts on Station Wagons
