Re: 72 Suburban rear trim panel project.

How did the 1/4 plywood fit in the upper chrome strip? I tried 1/4" in mine and it wouldn't fit. I have read there are two sizes of pickup door panel chrome strips depending on interior options but I've never been able to confirm the same for Burbans.

P.S. They look great!

The ply I used fit great. I used 1/4" birch ply (It could have been a maple maybe) which measured @ .181 instead of say M.d.f. which measures at .250 (1/4")

I am also unsure of the different size chrome strips.
