[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 1274, member: 34"] So, after figuring out that my current trunks aren't quite the dimensions I'd like them to be for both truck and trailer pack, I've decided to build all new trunks and revise the style slightly. My main goal is going to be to put wear strips on the top and bottom of each trunk, so the sides don't get all beaten up. So far, my main question is, what is the best material for these wear strips? I would not like to use any kind of plywood, since it usually ends up delaminating (even BB). I looked at oak trim boards at Home Depot, but they're $1.58 per foot for 2.5" wide strips, and I'd need about 18 feet to do one trunk. The current trunks are 24" x 30" and the new ones are going to be 22.5" x 30" since three 22.5" wide items fit perfectly widthwise in the trailer. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress, and on a side note, all my old trunks are for sale in the marketplace. [/QUOTE]
