  Barry,
  I am not sure if it will bend in any direction, but from what John said it
  might be a little difficult. I have not tried to bend it. I read where
  cardboard was used as headliners and thought this may work. It is
corrugated
  plastic and you can get it with aluminum on one side maybe both sides and
  different sizes.
  I have a 55 2nd and not sure what kind of headliner my truck has, because I
  haven't gotten that far yet. I thought this material might work.
  Help me out, what kind of cardboard is used for headliners? Does a 55 2nd
  have a cardboard headliner?
  Friendly regards from the Carolinas,
  Tom Cooper

  Tom this sounds interesting.  One question, do you
  think this material will bend in any direction?
  Corrugated cardboard will only bend in one direction.
  If you try to bend it across the grain it folds and
  creases. Just wondering if the product you mentioned
  might work differently.

  Barry
