Topic: 1938 PU Tacoma Cream

  Revisiting the restoration on my 1938 PU - black body color. My research shows wheels and stripe are tacoma cream - both standard and deluxe. Assuming this is correct, please let me know if the following are correct as well:
- Stripes go on the high point of all three of the "wrinkles" around the cab and forward to the two/one on the hood?
- Stripes are about 3/16th or so wide?
- Hubcaps are tacoma cream as well?
- Per search of forum posts, paint code for tacoma cream is DuPont YS314 or Chrysler 27484 Riverside Tan?
Thanks for any feedback.

  Could you find a picture of an original brochure figure it out from there? Maybe take measurements of the brochure and covert that to measurements on your truck.

  Thank you for the suggestion. I've found some photos of original stripes and believe we've arrived at a suitable plan. Looks like everything is good to go. Thanks again.
