Ah
G'day one and all ... and Alan !
Once upon a time , so the fairytale goes.
There was this clever guy was making replacement headlinings at one stage... but like me...(vanished- well for a while, but lime a bad penny I've surfaced again-- sorry about that .)
Has anybody have any info on these or am I back to cardboard aftermarket as I do not want ABS plastic..
Many thanks from the little island down under.
John..
Lurking in the blue mountains - apparently.

James,
Thanks...
The guy was making them from Formica laminate and laser cut on the machine.
He had period colours.

Well, I immediately thought of the f/g ones, and there was no mention of the laminate ones to steer me that way:)

Here's the thread yo're looking for, but if you go to his profile, it doesn't even tell you when he last logged in here, so all you can do is fire him an email and a PM, and wait??

John if you have a later year truck, you can go on the Facebook site and down load a program for a 36" plotter and cut your own.
I have a copy for the early year low roof cabs if need be, just need to know how to send it.

Thanks guys..
Really appreciate your help and kind gestures... as they may be needed.
Would anybody be in contact with "Shadow" from this forum.. I have tried a pm... no response.. and I lead to believe he did attend slickstock in 2017..
His cnc machine cut Formica laminate looked the goods with a range of retro designs..
But for backup... I will contact you for the profiles as then the little island down under will have a database for these for other skick'sters.

So,Alan, those S.A. meetings are going alright then.... I assume...
Haven't had to join just yet... thou it may happen ...
Is the local meeting place of the Slick Aholic's meetings, at the Peachtree community rooms ?

I see Lenore's big big brother is fore sale down on Castlereagh Road...
Just see Lyn, perched up there with a good birds eye view over all the traffic...
At least whilst your chasing the quad box stick with both hands, your leaving her alone in the cab !!

I found an Australian RETRO supplier for the Formica laminate, so it will be get the pdf's and do it here..
love the light grey boomerang style design, alas may not go with a Palomino coloured trim and carpet.
It appears to be very similar to the design the "Shadow" had photo's of on here...

Oh... How is Leeroy going after life's ups and downs... think of him every time i see a oranged belly bird flying bye.

Seeing how you purchased the flaming river column as vehicle spare parts for the plumbing vehicle---
Has your accountant written it off as dead stock :roll:

Allen do you have the low roof, or the later, tall roof PDF?
If you need the low roof please send me a PM with your email and I will post you mine. If you have the low roof I would be interested in comparing mine to yours.

Hi John, I think it is the low roof one but it's not for me, it's for 8clt. didn't he buy the truck off you ?
I know it's for a F250, but thats about all.

John, I got the roof pattern from Dana AKA Shadow on here, would you like a copy, I'm sure Dana wouldn't mind, just remember all Kudos belong to him !

on a side note!.... how are things settling down now mate, well I truly hope !

Things are going well Alan, Life goes on . Thanks for the info on Dana's head liner it's actually the one I sent him unless he found another one hopefully he will chime in here , He made me a liner out of a plastic panel that I now have in my long bed uni. I had to do some trimming but it worked out. I just wanted to check mine against another!
