Our local store doesn't have a real big selection in the store, but anything ordered is usually there the next day.

Sometimes toy have to put a few stripes together to get what you need.

The OEM stuff is all now discontinued and obsolete but about a month ago my Dodge dealer found a few boxes available in a Mopar warehouse somewhere. Unfortunately, the list price at the dealer is $189 PER SIDE plus the tailgate (which was not available). Yes, Mother Mopar is mighty proud of that decal.

Although my dealer offered me a discount, I phoned the body shop that did an excellent job on my new paint and he said he would paint me a perfect two-tone stripe including clear coat for $500. Because that's about the same price as the OEM Mopar decal and paint is a lot more durable than a decal, I decided I will go the paint route when I decide to complete the new striping.

Mysteryman (Terry Elders) is in contact with the original manufacturer of the pinstripe. He wanted to get a group buy together with different colors together to make another run.

I e-mailed Terry a number of weeks ago on this very subject and he never got back to me. Perhaps you can suggest how one gets in touch with him? My guess is the OEM manufacturer was 3M.

Sure give him a call 301 933 5277

He posts his phone number on board a lot so I'm sure he won't mind a call. Before 3 AM est time though.

According to my parts manual, the decal color combinations offered on '92 pickups were:

* bright red/sterling silver/bright red (4636 938)
* spice/sand/spice (4638 332)

On the '93 trucks the combos were:

* bright blue/bright red/bright blue (4720 180)
* spice/red brown/spice (4720 186)
* flame red/sterling sliver/flame red (4720 182)
* medium green/light green/medium green (4720 184)

Color combos for the Ramchargers were essentially the same.

My truck was originally a solid tan (light champagne) so it had no decal. A few years ago I changed to two-tone using the 1993 Mopar color "emerald green." I then used the spice/red brown/spice decal and it looks fine. The OEM decals were then obsolete, but my dealer was able to find me a set at significantly less than list price. Unfortunately, they are now no longer available at all.

I didn't know they had that many pinstrips in 93. i have always though it was dumb how on a 91 or 92 if it's like brown and tan like our 91 was, it had a red/silver pinstripe. kinda ugly.

There is a whole different set of colors for the '90 and '91 trucks. And the decals for those year models have different part numbers depending on whether the mirrors are 5" x 7" or 6" x 9".

Sounds like your '91 would have looked better with the '91 decal called Red Brown/Sand/Red Brown (4636 936).

Thanks for those part numbers.

The one on my 93 would have been Spice/red brown/spice on a blue and tan truck.
