No,No factory pinstripe was put on the GMT800's.

Okay thanks. Think I want to get rid of it.....It doesn't match the lines of the truck that well, if you look in my sig picture.

Yes, I have to say it was. I have the same pinstripe (painted on) my truck that I have seen on other trucks of the same year. One is a guy that I work with. the only thing in common with our trucks is the year, and Ft Wayne truck plant, they have other options but different build months, different dealers (not even in the same state)

Yea I would get rid of the pin stripping. I hate pin stripping on modern cars. There are some older cars that look good with it. I especially dont like that fact that people use vinyl pin strips. I think that they should be hand painted on and under the clear coat so that it looks as if it was intended with the paint job and not an after thought.

Yep,We sold a lot of GMT800 trucks that had pinstriping....pinstriping that WE put on before the customer bought them!

Yeah mine is not painted on....it was applied after the clear coat. I'm assuming a "Dealer" option, lol. I wish my truck was a Fort Wayne truck, considering that's where I'm from. My buddy's dad worked in the Ft Wayne plant for 20 yrs and asked if it was a Ft Wayne truck.....I told him "nope but the Mexican that built it looks real similar to you!" He thought it was hilarious....coming from the guy that has a "We dont call 911" sign on his back door using vinyl mailbox letters to spell it out. I'm surprised I didn't get jacked for that comment lol.
