Hello. I have a 1974 W200 Power Wagon.
Can and/or how is the Metal Headliner removed from inside the cab? I would like to work on a few dents and access/push them out from inside the cab.
Thanks

it appears that you're just seeing the inside skin of the cab. No detachable headliner.
The trucks that had headliners had clips that attached a fiber-board backed headliner

Thanks for the reply.
The Roof is definitely double-walled construction (inner and outer roof panels).
So does that mean there is no way to remove the inner shell short of cutting it out?
Thanks.

Doing good. Retired a few years back. Son still has the '71 Charger. Your pic didn't show up last night for some reason. My first new vehicle was a '74 W100 in light green. Looks like yours is the same color. Tim

Did mine last summer. Cut the top skin. I had major rust issues on the front of the cab. My buddies shop found a real nice skin. He also cleaned up the inner panel and laid in some Raptor.

Thanks for the replies.
Good to know.
My ‘74 W200 was first sold as a Pacific Telephone Utility truck but had a utility truck bed at a minimum. It may have been a bucket-truck The paint....guessing it was originally White (engine bay, roof, etc) but the interior was green and the lower body Pacific Telephone Green as well, so two-tone green and white. A subsequent owner swapped on a standard 8-foot Sweptline bed.
When I received it, pretty rough looking, no front bumper, mangled step rear bumper, no Tailgate, no defroster grill, etc. Still has quite a way to go before I consider it acceptable, but getting the Trans rebuilt and re-installed is priority one.
This is what it looked like when I bought it in 2014, and more recently.
