Hi Nick,
I did this a while back and wasn't completely successful so I'll be doing it
again somewhere down the road. The front half goes in first and the leading
edge is tucked in under the windshield rubber. Then, insert the back half
into the middle bar and install as a unit onto the front half. Use a mixture
of household ammonia and water (50/50 in a spray bottle) to mist the back of
the headliner cardboard. Get it damp but not dripping wet. This will make it
a little more pliable for installation. I wrote up my experience on my
website. It's more of an essay on what not to do than on how to do it but
here's the link:

Subject: [oletrucks] 51 Headliner
Guys/Gals:
Putting in a new 2 piece cardboard Headliner in the 51. Started front to
back, back to front, Middle bar in, Middle Bar out, etc. Seems the thing is
too wide around the area of the track for the cab seals. Anyone replaced
this? Best order to do it in? Did you have to trim it to fit?.
