Application Examples and Fitment Notes

This universal system is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. The examples below highlight applications that require special consideration for proper fitment.

Conditional Applications

• 1931–1934 Chevrolet Coupes — Use the included Adapter Kit and Headliner Kit (Ford 1930–1934 molded headliner) for proper fitment.
• 1931–1934 Ford Coupes & Trucks — The Adapter Kit is only required for chopped tops when the cab is extended. Standard chops only lower the roof and do not enlarge the cab’s sheet metal/wood.

Extended‑Cab Applications

• Extended cab builds require two RD3712 headliner kits plus one Adapter Kit to properly cover the increased interior space.
• See link to purchase an additional headliner kit.
• Please call before ordering (“Call Twice, Cut Once”)

About Our Universal ABS Headliner System

Designed to solve fitment challenges caused by chopped roofs, extended cabs, and modified sheet metal, this system allows builders to enlarge, reshape, and adapt the headliner to match non‑standard rooflines with smooth, consistent contours.

This makes the system ideal for hot rods, restorations, custom trucks, and chopped‑top applications where no direct‑fit headliner solution exists.
