I got mine from Mar-K and I think they have the best quality. The woodgrain matches pretty well compared to the original stock.

Curious about how mar-k looks next to nos pieces. I've got nos I'd like to use except the k5 specific pieces and wonder how well they'd match side by side.

Wait, what? I thought wood paneling wa only a square body thing. 73 up. Any pics of 72 with wood paneling?

See any CST blazer pic - lower trim is wood grain.

Copy that. Wood paneling to me brings country squires to mind. Or suburban estate models. I wasn't thinking about the trim. Thanks

I made an exhausting attempt to restore my originals. First, I stripped the wood veneer & black paint off, and then I stripped the anodizing using oven cleaner. Everything came off pretty easily for me. The dent removal process is where I eventually gave in and decided it wasn't worth it so I ordered a new set from Mar-K. I made more new dents than I did removing them

That's skill set above my expertise, but hey if you don't try you'll never know what you're capable of. Because I had already removed the woodgrain I couldn't see the difference with them side by side, but I did have old pics to reference.

Doesn't LMC sell it?

Truck and Car shop in Orange, CA sells the trim packages. If you're close by, you could save some money on shipping! They've got a ton of stuff there.
