Recovered my headliner yesterday, will try to post pics later. Just fyi for anyone reading this, I had to remove my front seats and seat bet buckles on the floor to get the headliner in and out without damaging it. Im sure there are other ways, but this was they way I decided to do it, and it gave me a good chance to clean my carpet. It also gave me plenty of room to work inside the cab when removing and installing trim pieces.

Maybe to many trucks?
Mods I have done on the inside of our trucks:
my 88 F150: painted gauge needles red, tach cluster swap, 70s fseries wiper and headlight ****, 80-86 window handles (might change to 83-88 ranger/bronco II ones), custom floor console/cup holder with my bench seat, LED dome light bulb, and cb radio under the ash tray.
dad's 90 F150: radio with back up camera capability and rear speakers from a ranger under the seat.
brother's 91 F150 (I didn't do these the PO did): rebar for interior door handles (going to do 80-86 handles), roof gun rack (removed so I can relocate it and fill in the holes), roof mounted CB (removed so I can mount under ash tray like mine) cut holes in the rear for speakers (got to clean it up so it looks better since I can't find the panels in that color), and painted the stick shift **** red.
other brother's 91 F250: raised rear bench seat, a couple switches below dash for accessories and that's all for now.
89 F250: 85 extended cab bucket seats with console custom mounts. Our 89 is a reg cab.
92 F250: right door has 87-91 guts in it (no cable) working on right side and bronco cluster surround with defrost button (setting up as light auxiliary switch/button).
95 F250: custom interior lights LED have to put in a better spot still (done by PO).
I plan to do more to them but having this many makes it hard to get time to.

Ya but the 89 F250, 92 f250, and 95 F250 all are staying fairly stock considering the fact they are work trucks. LOL
Of course that is what I said about the 90 F150.

I put a clock in the dash because the LEDs in the radio don't show up good enough for me to read them! Got the clock off eBay for about $25, it came out of a 2007 Mercury. It's lighted up any time the truck is on, but it's a real soft light so it doesn't glare at all. It turned out better than I expected!

I currently have a hole in my dash from where the guy before me took the ashtray out. Cut the dash mounts for the ashtray and had a cb radio in the hole. I'm want to cover the existing hole somehow but I keep drawing blanks. Any suggestions would be considered.
