Factory Pinstripes?
Bought a used red 2001.5 3/4 ton today. It has two black pinstripes along the side up high and I'm wondering if it came from the factory this way. I don't think my brown truck had any stripes. Anybody know? They're kind of cracked in a few places and I'm thinking of removing them, but thought I'd see what y'all think first.

I'm sure they are a dealer add on.
added later by Geico; I'm sure they are factory. When you guys are too cheap to order two tone paint they feel sorry for you and give you pin stripes.

Acording to the parts catalog they are not factory. They were probably added when the truck was on the lot. Some of the older models came from the factory with stripes as mentioned above but not in 2001.

I peeled mine off, came off in tiny pieces mostly, but a little buffing and you can't tell they were on there.
Your paint may have faded, see if you can tell looking in the door jamb, somewhere it has been protected from the sun.

BTW mine did come with them too. I had the truck for about 3-4 months before I even noticed them.
