Does anyone know if the original 3-line pin stripe is still available in decal form or will it have to be painted on? I have an early model '84 with orange color pin stripes. Also, what was the factory color for the valve covers on a 305? Mine are rusted and it's hard to tell.

Thanks guys, I may actually finish this project in another 6-10 months. I hand to wait 7 months for my turn in the body/paint shop! I believe (hope) this guy will be worth the wait.

Valve covers would have been painted black.

I believe there are one or two suppliers for original type pin striping. Hopefully some else will pipe in. I believe @HotRodPC knows a guy that makes them.

Thanks Craig, I'll check it out. That fender photo of your truck is beautiful, I hope mine turns out that good.

I wish that was mine. It's a video for their shop.

I sent Josh Myers with Blurred Vision Images of Sooner State Squarebodies a PM on FB. We'll see if he gets back to me on there.
