The Ford Barn

I am looking for a cad drawing or tracing from a 1935-37 ford pickup headliner.
Or if you have an old one that was removed with enough remaining to make a copy from.

Thanks!

Doesn’t the factory headliner have a compound shape to it? What are you planning to do?

Although I did not install it, the one I bought for my other 35 pickup came rolled flat in a box as did the one for my 50 F1. I installed the F1 headliner, it was cut from a flat piece.....
I don’t remember exactly how the rear was cut but it wasn’t press formed into a compound shape. The side pieces folded down Above the doors and the back folded to meet the rear wall panels. Seems like the back was scored to fold & had a radius.

I have nothing to go from now, if the fella who offered a pattern doesn’t come thru I will make my own patterns and see where I end up

I’m going to be in this same situation soon on my ‘36. Where did you get the headliner for your other ‘35? Did it not fit correctly?

I’m not sure where it came from but probably from the mfg that is extinct now.
I sold the pickup with the headliner in a box.
The headliner in my 50 F1 came from D. Carpenter, it fit well, I hired an octopus to help put it in.
Still checking but I have yet to find any board with a pressed in pattern.
