Width of each appears to be the important measurement.

FWIW & JMHO
Yes;we still have it. Now stored/sealed with a Private Collection (Group of People).
Have tried for years to get a duplicate set of stripes with no luck. I have my
doubt if anyone can duplicate these. (Not the size or shape but the color tones involved) Perhaps a big graphics company given the job and given the OK to do it with "COST AT NO OBJECT" deal. I think our best bet is to hope 80Sport will get one to restore. He has a company out there that has done stripes for other Chevy Sports for other years with good results. It seems to me he has the resources to get it done. Once done others can order the stripes from his company. One also has to use common sense to restore one of these trucks. As much as we all like these trucks we can not kid ourselves in the fact they are not in the same league as Corvettes/Camaro's as far as value after the restoration. Of course this is JMHO as indicated. Larry
