I've had this problem for 25 years or so. Never saw a doctor for it, but I need to decide fairly quickly. This picture is truck original, only the lower moldings added. Not sure about the rear end moldings however, on either truck.

I've envisioned Ochre with lower moldings in my garage quite a bit lately, and happened to come across this sample. Looks dropped, maybe 4x6? I'm looking at 2.5/4, if at all. Considering my truck options + true restoration close, I like the idea a lot.

Edit: It almost looks orange. I'm colored/shade blind to extent.
