I need to order some pinstripe ... can someone please help me out & measure how wide the cab divider & top tailgate trim are on each?

Nice! Color man

Thing about the cab divider is not all fit the same. When I did this one, I fit them first and marked letting them dictate the fit. The old trim was unequal on both sides. Same for the trim on my other truck, which sit +/-1/4" behind the edge of the gutter on both sides. Personally I like how these turned out, and they're equal on both sides.

Using this picture, I would suggest measuring your cab choosing where you want the tape to end at the gutter.

Picks of the tailgate....... Let me know if you can't zoom in, I can see the marks clearly on this end.

By chance do you mean how tall?

EDIT: Cab 1/2", tail is 1"

If you read #2 first time, I had to correct the divider trim height, width, whatever it is
