I'm normally one to want to reuse anything I can, but I think Sam is correct here. You (and us) would be the only ones who knew the difference. I would probably do some price comparisons though.

Go with new. Seems like less of a headache and no one would know the difference except you. You'll still have the originals.

Or find a place to store them somewhere in the truck so you don't lose them.

You're close to the end. If it were me, I'd clean the truck, especially on the black painted portion before those water stains set in.
