Well a couple of the headliner pieces in my T'all are near total
disintegration. I am wondering if anyone has had any luck replacing
these. They appear to be 1/8" pressboard with lots of time holes. It
alos appears that the face is a laminate (or contact paper?). Is it
possible to get this type of material new from a lumber yard / home
store?

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Eric,

You should be able to find 1/8" fiberboard or pressboard at a lumber yard or
home center. You may also find some at an auto upholstery suppy place that
would be even better. That's where I got some headliner material to do a
replacement in a '78 Ford I had once. The material is like what is in
cars/trucks nowadays. Sort of a short-nap velvety surface on top of thin foam
in different colors. You can use spray contact adhesive to glue this material
to your fiberboard and have a really factory-like appearing headliner.
