Default Headliner Fit?

I am needing headliners for my 77 L82 Vette. Can anyone let me know what other years are interchangable?

All 68-77 t-tops are basically the same.

76 is the only other year that uses the exact same headliner as your 77, but all 68-77 headliners "should" fit your tops.

Over the years, the size and shape of the visors changed. As the visors changed, the indented area in the headliner where the visor nestles, was also changed, to accomadate the visor.

Thank you for that information. Exactly what I was looking for. Does this go the same for most parts on the car?

An awful lot of stuff is interchangable between 68-82.

77 does have some one year only pieces, though. In particular, the left and right front dash pieces, the center gauge cluster, and the interior windshield pillar post moldings are unique to 77. 1977 dash top and door panels are listed as 77 only, but that is because GM eliminated a molded in trim seam from them. 70-77 dash tops (68-69 dash tops fit too, but don't have speaker holes) and 68-77 door panels are all interchangable.

75-79 front bumpers and 74-79 rears all interchange. The 80-82 rear bumper appears different (with it's built in spoiler), but it will also bolt to any 75-82 Corvette. 73-79 hoods will all swap, as will almost any 68-79 suspension or mechanical part.
