Looks really good. We’re you able to find the factory pinstripe tape? I’ve got the part numbers somewhere. Sucky part is the front fenders are different. You can use a bedside piece and cut to fit for the rest of the truck

Have not located the stripe tape yet. And I agree the front fender OEM tape does narrow and bend a bit so not an easy way to replicate that with a generic tape. I’m challenging the detail guy to figure it out, I’m sure the body shop supply house has heard this issue a thousand times. We’ll see what the supply house comes up with. It has not been an easy part to find so far. Good news is Dodge used an almost identical Teal/Black tape stripe on the Ram in the mid to late 90s so the color combination has to exist. But the front fender taper and curve will be the challenge.

I’m on my third two tone..they are fun!

The pinstripes have been long discontinued, but some dealers and parts houses have them on the shelf. For me, I finally found the front fender ones (and a spare set), and for the rest of the truck I ordered 5 or 6 bedside pieces and cut them down. Technically, every panel had a different pinstripe part number. My drive with that info on it is sitting at my office desk, I’ll try to send ya the info tomorrow.

Here’s my old 93 gmc that had your exact color scheme. Also here’s my old 96 that had the green instead of the teal/turquoise. Love the two tones!!

Drove the truck today for the first time in 3 months. Why does it ride so much better with just body work and paint job, new BFGS, dual flow masters out the back and ICE cold Ac?

I was so excited to drive it and play with it I didn’t even take pictures. Ended up doing a Silver/Black tape stripe instead of Teal/Black and honestly I think it looks so much better than stock.

Tomorrow should be able to bring home if they can get the new body mount kit installed, fix blinker box and brake light, and put glare strip tint back on windshield.

Body mounts on cab are giving us issues, the bolts are just spinning looking like we’ll have to remove interior and find top bolts? Body mounts must be replaced as part of this project so we’ll see tomorrow.

In any event I will get lots of pictures tomorrow. This project has ended up being so ridiculous but as my millennial colleagues say #YOLO
