LMC has the 87-91 in red or blue for $30. You didn't say what year your truck is.

Ah. I assumed you were looking for the decals.

The only letters I saw were the hood letters for $54. I'm not home to check but I think the red reflective strip letters were mounded into the strip.

the chrome letters on the reflective panel are actually recessed a little. oh well it took 26 years of good ole Arizona sun to make one fall off.

Just looked at the '89 pickup and saw what you are talking about. The Bronco ('87) has the blue oval on the driver's side. The red panel is no longer available new so I'd say your best bet is a junkyard to get a replacement.
