Thanks all for the input! f66's assembly manual pic shows the panel/suburban have a grommet! I don't know why the Suburban/Panel would be any different than the truck fender??? But mine is a Burb... The grommet on it was ripped and can't really tell if it was original. Pics from the manual show PN 3723272, little bit out there on GMPartswiki: http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=219326 superseded by PN 3765905... one wiki reference says it's rubber - 1 3/4" x 3/8" thk.

I ordered the 55-59 grommets from Truck shop, per their recommendation. Will see if it fits.
Thanks again!

Roy
