Trim and bumpers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone recommend the best vendor for 72 wood grain trim? I’m going for the super Cheyenne look on my two tone. I’ve heard of Mar-Kay, but I’m not sure if there stuff is the same as Classic Industries, LMC, etc.

Also, looking for a recommendation of getting the bumpers re-chromed.

Here is a thread I started a little while ago on Electroplating of El Paso.

Lots of folks on the board here have used them with excellent results.

I've done 2 trucks, first one with wood grain trim from the Truck Shop. Second one with trim from Mar K and I don't think the Mar K trim is any better than others. Mar K trim needed some attention due to the vinyl not stick very well. My 2 cents.

You might want to try Rockauto for the bumpers. I have bought (2) sets of their reconditioned bumpers in the past and they have been great looking. They are rechromed original bumpers, not repops from china.

Here's a thread talking about them (mostly page 2-3). Make sure you order the premium quality (they run out of them sometimes...)

Good luck, Rg
