Do you think this could have been a dealer add on, kinda like the rear bumpers. Reason I ask is I had a older local gentleman tell me he "Thought" that dealerships would paint the red/black strip between the trim to break up the white.

I know its hard to what if things because you could literally what if everything

I suppose anything is possible , Chevrolet never did this but I suppose the new owner could request it. Ive collected a LOT of dealer pictures with these trucks in the showroom or on the lot. Not one picture is like that , But , its impossible to say if one or two possibly may have done this without some documentation.
