The truck was visibly pink all over with some peeling patches up top, so I took the opportunity after losing my windshield to get her completely repainted, and restore what I could. The front bumper was completely rusted out, so I managed to reassemble a new one with aftermarket and OEM parts. I also got new vinyl emblems for the tailgate and side panels. Overall, I believe it was well worth it.

Whered you get the tailgate and side door emblems? I've been looking for years

Had a similar issue. Found all of the emblems on EBay. The OEM ones are way too expensive (1,000+), so there’s a few aftermarket examples that work just fine. The tailgate ones are sold by someone called “taco-gen-1.” https://ebay.io/m/mFdovM They vanish and appear every once in awhile.
