steveg,
You are right about the RPO 430 package including all those pieces for the Panel Truck. I do not have the RPO number for the trim package for the Suburban, which did not have the 14-piece fender trim set but did have the two-piece stanless-steel barn door glass trim (and stainless steel insert(s)/trim for the windshield, etc). Also, my 1954 Chevrolet (Salesman) Truck Data Book does not mention the fender moulding strips specifically with any option or accessory number (that I can find). I will check the Restoration pack tonight.
What we are trying to determine are a few things about the fender mouldings (this exercise, of course, proves that some of us are anal and/or pedantic, among other anti-social characteristics that we might have):
1. Were the fender mouldings a factory Regular Production Option (or, part of an RPO) available for Panel Truck, Suburban, and Canopy Express (my guess is "yes", part of the RO) 430 but only for the Panel Truck)?
2. Were the fender mouldings a GM accessory available for Panel Truck, Suburban, and Canopy Express (I do not think they were a listed as a GM accessory in 1954, at least)?
3. Were the fender mouldings a set of parts available on-order from GM (my guess if "yes" and thus could be installed by any dealer/owner on any truck)?
4. For 1-3 above: What is the RP0 #(s), accessory #, and/or part number?
