Some of those packages emphasize the phrase, "just because you can doesn't mean you should."
Lol, true. I’ve never seen any HD trucks with the various trim/stripes, of the 70s/80s.
Guess is being a commercial vehicle, wrecker, it was striped to match the company “look.”

Those 'custom' graphics in the late 70s-80s where just a film no? Those stripes were not painted on as I remember.
