The size changes toward the front of the truck. The factory stripe was two colors and had a smooth surface.
Got any pictures of yours?

That’s what I’m missing the two inside stripes they came off while buffing it that’s why I wanted to know if they were factory and I want to buy the two stripes that go in the middle and make it look factory instead of peeling it all off so that’s why I was looking for the size of the stripes

Ah, ok. Those look to be aftermarket stripes. Likely Trim Brite brand. Back "in the day" you could buy universal tape stripes that were two-color like that.
Yours are not factory, so you will need a factory-type stripe set or add striping to match what you have.

Google it, the OEM stripe kits are readily available in every color combo. Holley and Phoenix graphics are 2 of the bigger vendors. Holley was cheaper when I bought mine. About $150 for a complete kit.
Good news is yours are in the right location and the front fender stripes look like they were placed properly for location (many aren't).
