Stripe kit for 76 explorer

I have a 76 F250 camper special with the explorer option. I want to repaint and restripe the truck, just like it came from the factory. After I have it painted, I will need a factory type stripe kit. Does anyone know if this stripe kit like the factory stripes on the explorer package, is available? I have tried stencils and stripes, and phoenix graphix. Thanks Dan

Work with a sign shop to reproduce the stripes. The OEM stripes are not available and even if they were they would be no good. They only had a 6 month shelf life.

The only problem is that i would need some detailed photos of the explorer stripes from an original paint truck, in order to duplicate them. Anyone have photos like this? Thanks dan

Besides tape..... a good paint guy can duplicate the stripes in paint.
They will last longer painted.

Hey Dan, I need to take some pictures and put together a gallery anyway.

I've got a 76 F100 Explorer with the original stripes. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

I always liked the way the 76 Explorers looked. That stripe may be dificult to realise in paint, I would think. It is complex to say the least.

I didn't forget about you, Dan! I put up a gallery of stripe pictures. Also, since FTE shrinks the images, in the photo descriptions I put links where you can see larger pictures. Hope this helps.
