Yes its made by REM and 3 piece. It looks like they cut the hole for the dome light in half.

From this diagram they sent it appears the added joint will be where the dome light is, haven’t measured this to my originals. Wonder how these are joined, if they are overlapped then there will be an issue with fitting into the side rails.

On the other hand, for the price they would certainly be better than nothing.

I measured the extra headliner I have and from the front to the center line for the dome light is 30 1/2"
You will have to make a custom trim strip to work with the dome light

Somehow I missed your post, last time I checked BJ’s search only showed one for J trucks, just looked and they do look good from pics. Pricey, but probably best choice. Thx

Best idea yet, didn’t know they had one, been a while since I’ve needed any repro parts.

Pricey, but the good stuff always is

Thanks

I was thinking of making my own... I saw some 5mm plywood at Lowes. I got to thinking about replacing the cardboard on the doors... it's shot to hell, but the leather/carpeting is still nice, so undo that, trace it on this super thin stuff, cut it out and restaple it. I then thought it might work for headliner too.

if you try the 5mm plywood on the headliner keep us updated, I have been thinking of doing the same
