Unfortunately no one remakes them. You will have to find some that deals with decals and have them make a set for you. I'm sure this wasn't the news you were looking for! Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help.

Phoenix Graphix makes repro decals for all sorts of cars & trucks but unfortunately don't offer any like pictured above. They will do custom work and likely offer them as stock items if there is enough demand.

Give 'em a ring: Phoenix Graphix: Car Auto Decals Graphics, Factory Restoration Stickers

if you're going to repaint it, just have the graphics reproduced in paint.

Those are "Explorer" stripes. There might be a few sets still available at obsolete parts dealers but I can tell you, the chances of them still being usable are almost zero.
These decals have been obsolete for over a decade. When new they had a shelf life of about two years, after that the glue sticks to the backing paper making them unusable.
Like 1975Mudrat said (Thanks for the kind words Mudrat ) I'm restoring a '73 Explorer, what I am planning on doing is to paint the stripes on, it's going to be base coat/clear coat and the stripes will be under the clear. I won't have to worry about cracking or peeling.

If you still have them on your truck all you have to do is go to a local graphics shop and have them take some measurements. Pic out the closest color and have them produce some custom vinyl graphics.

I've had all sorts of automotive decals made that way. Now if you are looking for reflective type stripes you could try Uticom Systems out of PA. I had them produce some custom labels for my motorcycle club.

Thats exactly what I would do. Clear coat over the stripes and no more fading.

That's a sharp looking truck to!
