Post by: shadoe on August 01, 2013, 04:30:41 pm: The original stripes and lettering on an "81 Street Coupe. The stripes started off dark, then faded. The stripes were decals with STREET COUPE lettering on the actual stripe. When I got my "81 repainted in 2007 the stripes were painted on and were placed about inch and a half to two inches from original position :-\, done so it would follow the body line.

Post by: alex on August 03, 2013, 08:34:58 pm: I never did understand why the Street Coupe stripes are 2 inches below the body line from the factory.

The Chevy Sport stripes follow the body line.

But it is a good way to pick out an original stripe truck....just about all the repaints move the stripes to the body line
Title: Re: gmc street coupe
Post by: shadoe on August 03, 2013, 11:18:16 pm: That's exactly what happened to mine. After specifically telling the paint man where I wanted the stripe, he followed the body line....by that point I just wanted my truck back.....one day I'll get it done back to original....Did you know that the stripe started off a dark color and then lightened all the way to where they terminated?
