Hi Mike,
Yes the closed cab CCKW had a fiber headliner,I will be making some repros in the near future.your truck is a summer 42 but others on the forum can probably pin the month down for you.

Try Jim Carter Antique Chev parts or Chevys of the 40's. They both have them as I recall and in different colors too!
