Factory 2-tone
Can someone take some measurements of the factory 2 tone on these trucks? Like how far down the top color goes and how far up the bottom color goes etc......the painter is ready to start working on the 91 bed but we lost all the recordings for the factory 2-tone. If anyone could take up close pictures and measurements that'd be great!! Maybe with a straight edge coming off the top of the bedrail and measuring down to where the color stops? thanks

My dad ordered and purchased my truck new and it started life as a single color ("Light Champagne"). When I replaced the bed I decided to two-tone it using another 1993 Mopar color ("Emerald Green"). The body shop had no trouble figuring out where to break the color lines -- about 1" above the door handle as stated above. For the decal to cover the paint line, I used an OEM pinstripe kit. These kits are now obsolete but my local Dodge dealer used his computer to find some sitting in a Mopar warehouse somewhere in Wisconsin.
Good luck.
Best,
Jim

thanks guys, but because the bed i am getting painted is off the truck right now .
I need the height of the center color also so I know where the bottom of it is. the bed has no trim on it currently NOR the holes for it. It was off an earlier truckk so the trim holes were welded up. need ASAP. THANX, crossy
FYI- I'm glad he (BDC) thinks the project (P-bob) is a POS cuz i'll remind him of that when he wants it and BTW- he already asked for it.
That 91 POS is a 100K mile. RUST-FREE D250
