How about a Chevy Sport 20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm thinking about trying to duplicate the Chevy Sport but to do it with a c20 crew cab short bed. I saw this picture from @digitalc10 on Instagram for some ideas...

Should not be hard to do and you will have a one off truck.I have thought about doing it a couple of times.....and if I found a nice red 79-80 single wheel crewcab without the chrome trim I would likely do it.

I can dig it. Don't see nearly enough step sides it seems.

The biggest issue I see is getting those stripes done so it can look period correct. Anyone have any ideas???

Do the stripes and possibly the black in a vinyl wrap material. Factory probably did vinyl stripes.

I was thinking the vinyl wrap but curious as where to find the correct size and locating the stripes to the body panels

Without a real truck as an example I see the problem. At least the stripes are straight and consistant so possibly with enough internet pics it could be done. It would be a fun project.

I have had 5 trucks done by our local graphics shop ;I can provide dimensions.The hood stripes are same as the regular RPO.I even have some partial NOS stripes for correct color match.
The factory stripes were silkscreen vinyl;with todays technology our guys print the colors and lettering on the material.

Or if you have the money you could always have the graphics painted on it.
