Title: Racing stripes
Post by: porter48joe on January 29, 2015, 10:11:00 am

I'm new here and I was wondering if any of you guys had dimensions for racing stripes that would look right on my truck. It's an 87

Not my truck but I should be able to get him to measure them if you like them

The measurement is based off of the "burn an inch" method. The rear stripes are 15-1/4 from edge of tailgate to first 1/4" stripe then a 1/4 inch gap, 13" main stripe, 1/4 gap and second 1/4 inch stripe.  I have pictures to resize if you need them.  Just let me know

The hood stripes measure 15-3/4 from edge of hood then repeat the above measurements.
