They don't have the recess for the license plates either, because the plates were always bolted to the rear doors. They are too wide to be used in stock form, but you can make a slice in the middle and cut them to size.

Thanks for the suggestions guys I will have a look and see what my imagination can up up with. I'm a long ways off on deciding what to do but it certainly will not be stocked. It looked like GM just slapped it together with out any thought in stocked form.

Once again thanks for the suggestions and I will keep them in mind when the time comes to decide.
