I don't think vinyl cloth was invented before 1940, but oil cloth probably was.This package try question was discussed last year on Fordbarn with "Kube" giving the correct info. He is an expert on restoring 40 Fords and is writing a much needed restoration book.
READ VERY CAREFULLY all the postings in the following 2 page thread.
https://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread...d+package+tray In this thread "KUBE" tells what he uses to cover the package tray. I do not know where he gets the material (cardboard?) that he uses. If I ever recover it I will use headliner material, just because I got some extra from LBB back in 1978. |
thanks Fordy,i read all the postings you mentioned, I,m disappointed with LBB,the vinyl they gave me with the kit is very dark brown almost black and very shiny and a large grain,the upholstery is a beige pattern and a beige headliner ,I feel if I fitted this the contrast would shout at me ,i bought the kit in 1997 and it has been hanging around my house since then and the headlining colour would probably have faded so if I bought some more from LBB the colour probably wouldn't match and I havnt any spare ,a bit of thinking required I think , thanks for your help , Jim.
