Racing stripes
« 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

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
