The panels are a vinyl product, and is most often used in bathrooms. Since it is moisture resistant, and is flexible to form on walls.

For your 86, I don't think it may be a good solution. Since on the earlier models like my 68 or the 67 model year, the original headliner was a thin card board like material and it was secured mainly by sitting in a channel along the inner wall of the body. Then there was a single screw in the roof section, that screw helped keep the board bowed up against the ceiling.

The 86 models I THINK used a thicker material, and had foam rubber backed material glued to the board. If there is a channel that the original board fit into along the sides, you may be able to make something like what I did work for your truck.
