You can find NOS pieces on ebay every so often. The grille, front fender and trunk scripts are common to 1968-69, but that 68-only nose Rocket may be hard to find. They usually took a beating and most true 68 bumpers have only holes where the Rocket should be.
I'll try to dig up some part #s for you when I'm back with my parts books.

"That's a strange concept, Son" said my father as he sampled the day's run of silvery-clear moonshine for taste and quality. "Good 'shine, that. Your grandpap would be proud that the gift has passed on to another generation. But yes, it's real strange that some folks feel like a varmint has more right to illegally inhabit and destroy your property than you have to prevent it from doing it."
"Come to think of it, that's why your Uncle Reade sold off all them rental houses he had. It was costing him more to fix what the varmints tore up than he was making off 'em. And the govamint wouldn't let him evict them."

I think that's a 68 Cutlass hood emblem. It's curved to fit the hood contour, so I doubt it would have worked on your Toro.
my back script got sandblasted by "accident" when it was at the body shop
That's why, when one of mine goes in, everything that can be removed is off the car before it gets there. Body shops have a bad habit of damaging or losing stuff.
I sent my 73 Delta convert for paint. Everything was off the car except the outside door handles. When they called me to come pick it up, there was a DA sander swipe across the driver's door handle. And I hit the roof. A buddy of mine who had that shop's paint accounts told me later I'd raised enough hell to get the kid fired. So be it. Maybe he learned to take a little more pains with his work.

Seller apparently knows what he has.
