It gets REALLY expensive fast so I passed on the bedsides.
I really like your truck as-is too. But I totally "get" repainting it the factory color. I'll post one that isn't quite the same color but I loved it when I saw it I considered doing mine is way. Whatever color you end up choosing it'll look great.
Will you keep the fender mounted spare? Used to be I would not have wanted one. But now I kinda dig them. Have you ever seen one with a spare on both sides? You have to find a Canadian passenger side fender to do that. it's kinda cool.

There is a company that reproduces the trim, sides, bumpers and tail lights.

costs a fortune but I can always dream. I missed a bed on CL for 4k a while back, cheap compared to
