well my truck is dark green now but It had a white top and a white stripe on the panel underneath the bottom trim , I m wondering if this was a rare option because I cant seem to find many pictures of trucks like this , its paint code 589 If you have one like this please post a picture

less common than having the white in the middle, but it won't add value to the truck or anything

That's called the "Custom" two-tone. Just the top painted accent color is called "Conventional" two-tone. The top and side between upper/lower moldings is called "Deluxe" two-tone. There were no stripes offered other than pinstripe in the location of the upper trim. Any truck could get any of these two-tones. The required trim had to be ordered if not part of the trim package.

Sorry for only giving information. The Custom was the most common two-tone on 69/70s and rare to see on 71/72s (and visa-versa). On 67/68s,K/5s,and Suburbans it was the only alternative to the Conventional two-tone. Here are a few pictures I have:
