bowtieollie Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hello and Happy July 4th, I am looking for a headliner cardboard for my 1988 Chevrolet R20 Crewcab . This is the first gen Crewcab or some call the Square body. I have looked high and low and it seems someone forgot this model. FYI - Suburban headliners do not work - they are shaped differently. Looking for advice...... thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeboy1930 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The original headliner base is spun fiberglass. I just went thru this issue with my 1986 K30. There seems to be nothing available yet aftermarket, but the need is there. I was able to locate an original that I used. They are very delicate and easily damaged. I took it to the local upholstery shop, and they were able to cover it for me. Best to check Craigslist for someone parting a 73-91 crew cab out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtieollie Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks for that photo! Nice rig (s)..... I thought the base was cardboard - no idea it was spun material. LMC is MIA on this one too.... Problem is if I find a parts truck - I just may bring the old horse home and have a new project! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtieollie Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Update and useful information for others who may need a headliner such as my post. Erin Ruddy of Ruddy Made LLC has reproduced this headliner from a fiberglass mold. The quality is remarkable. $450.00 + shipping You can search for him on Facebook. I do not have website but I do know he is located in Alton, Missouri Edited December 16, 2017 by bowtieollie (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
