It had two tone paint, the body was dark red with the fenders black and cab (from beltline up) black.
At the cab beltline, where the color changed from red to black was a thin chrome or stainless trim that wrapped around the cab.
Was this a factory option or something that particular owner fabricated for his paint job?

I saw the truck in a parking lot one day when we were out for dinner...wish I had taken some pics with my phone. If it's local to Bryan/College Station, TX, maybe I will see it again.
Thank You Brad for the info.
