When installing the Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock w/ Wood Screws part # TWSPWM there really isn't a set material thickness it needs to be in. It does not carry any type of weight rating. It is meant to act as a stop for your wheel and to keep it from moving side to side as you are heading down the road. The 3/4" plywood you intend to mount it to will work out great. i would not trust anything under 1/2" in this situation.
