Drilled the rivet's, Removed the decal with a heat gun. The decal came off in pieces due to its deteriorated condition. The adhesive remover shown worked pretty good to get the adhesive off, Acetone didn't touch the adhesive.

Installed the new decal and cleaned the letters. I decided to go with JB Weld mostly cause I had it already. I JB welded the letters on the tailgate band taped them in place turned it over and put more JB Weld on the back. Let dry then installed the band on the truck. Looks good if the letters stay put! Did the whole job on a Sunday Morning for $20 Bucks!!
