Thanks, MT - regarding clips, and for the illustrations in you post.

Regarding striping: it is also described in the Specifications Manuals for each year, usually with poor illustrations.

What interests me is the width of the stripes. Since they were applied by hand, the painter could choose the width of the stripes. The width of the body stripe on my my 1954 Suburban was about 1/8”. We have seen illustrations of some earlier body stripes being around 1/4” or larger (as shown in a panel trucks sales video recently posted).
