I'm talking about the "Hockey Stick" Sportruck decals; I only seen one in person to date, like this one:

I think the “rare” sportruck decals are the ‘91 squiggle. I haven’t seen too many on here, but I took this at a wrecking yard with a crappy loaner flip phone almost ten years ago:

My short bed has witness marks of the same decal, but it’s long gone. Pretty sure whoever put some fibreglass into the cab corners and painted the rocker guard over the bottom half peeled them off.

For some reason until I dug up that first pic I had it in my head that the squiggle should be a magenta sort of colour. Maybe I saw someone else’s truck on here, maybe I’m just imagining it being appropriate for the era. Not sure.

According to the '91 marketing brochure, there were only two color combos available for SWB only: Blue/Silver and Orange Red/Dark Silver.  But in pics, the "dark silver" sure looks like black to me.

Kind of a dark charcoal sort of colour I guess. I must be associating it with some other graphic to think it was pink, maybe the red swoop that they also got. That first truck looks so much like mine, I’d have to guess it got the same blue/light silver.

I like them all.  My dream is to mimic the white one or come up with a version for my black truck.

I'd say the 86 3-tone striped trucks are pretty rare; I've personally only ever seen one running around down here in the southeast, some years ago, and maybe one or two that a member had on the forums throughout the years. I'll always be a sucker for the "Chief" paintjobs; I always thought those were sharp.
