His is a '77 but he wanted the dimensions for the type 2 stripe. That was used only on the '75 Explorer.

Oops, I left out one dimension that would allow the 3 1/2" to make sense. I'll try and explain.
The 3 1/2" is measured from the back edge of the hood. The second dimension, 4 1/4" is measured from the bottom edge of the hood, directly below the 3 1/2" measurement. The 4 1/4" is the top of the tape stripe and the 3 1/2" forward is where the tape curves up and over the hood.
Hope this explains it.
