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.

not what i was hoping for, but thanks! really looking into restoring my truck some day and want to paint it the same color with the factory decals
That will be nice! Make sure you put a build thread on here!
Mikeo0o0o (I'm not too sure how many 0's and o's but that work lol) is restoring his truck and he is gunna put the stripes back on his truck. Check out his build its very cool!
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.
where do you guys get replacement decals for your trucks? im talking about the yellow and orange ones in this pic
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.
thanks for all the advice guys! ill make a build thread in a couple weeks. gonna be doing a lot of little things but the full frame off resto is still a couple years away
