I agree, I have a 77 Explorer, and when I get it done, I am going to get the strips painted on. I know a guy that has a sign/graphic art business, and he would get a major chub at the thought of getting a change to duplicate something like that. I bet he would offer to put it on included in the price too. Check those guys out, usually they are very creative and proud of there work.

A good automotive painter can paint them on, and make them look like it was stickered on too. Make it have a raised edge like decals etc...

Yep, your right 81, thats why I was leaning towards painting. However, I LOVE the stock original look, thats why I'm considering getting stickers made. I got lots of time as I got plenty of mechanical work to do till I have to make my decision.

I asked the same question on here befor. Someone posted up the measurements. I will see if I can find the post tomorrow when I get back to my own computer. You might do a search for "1975 Explorer Stripe" thats what I asked for. If you haven't got it by tomorrow I will check my computer to see where I saved them

I'm pretty sure I have an NOS stripe kit for that. I'll have to look at it to make sure it's the right one. I do know that it's in wicked good shape and very pliable still. I also have a friend with a sign shop that could reproduce it. I would imagine that it's no big deal. If anyone knows what the part number should be let me know so I can double check and help this guy out.
