    I think they sell it by the yard. They made me an LDO headliner with the same hard to find (not reproduced) LDO headliner material as used by Ford. They also had the exact same material for Dennis' Sprint seats. Their website is www.smsautofabrics.com , but it is not very informative - it's best to call them. They will send you samples (can request on the site) and I believe will match a sample you send them. Have your trim code ready. They were very helpful and great to work with. Hope this helps.

    There isn't one. The trim code only tells the color.

    Like Corbin said, you gotta send them a sample or request samples from them and match it up.

    That pattern in the middle doesn't look original. Looks to have been repaired/recovered.

    I have seen a very similar pattern in other Ford cars in various colors.
    It seems like it is usually Gold, Orange, Green, Red, Blue....

    I believe that I have seen it in some Mustangs, Pintos and...hey, maybe
    a Maverick!

    You probably will have to send a sample to someone.

    By the way, there you go again, posting pics without those helpful assitants
    that generally improve your posts.
