They are light blue. I think they have holes, to be honest I've never taken much notice.
Here they are before I removed them

Yeah, hard to tell from that pic if that fender has holes. If someone has already filled in the holes (and they don't have rust), it might be worth getting the pair of fenders. If not, then I'll probably work with what I've got. Are those 4x4 fenders? It looks like they flare out a bit more than mine, or maybe it's just the angle of the pic. No rush, but when you have a chance, take a look and let me know. Thanks!

i welded my holes up and also had to weld the 2 4x4 holes up i figured that was the best way so i dont have to go back and redo later down the road

Now this is strange.I know for SURE my 87 b2200 logos are double side emblem tape! I replaced mine years ago bc the chrome peeled on the plastic NO holes.Granted things may have changed and replacement parts idk maybe different.Can't say in all my junkyarding seeing any b22 with emblems gone(common) with holes behind said emblem ever on any yr 86-93 period.Just my share being I have owned mine since day 1 brand new!

yes those fenders have the 4 holes where the b2600i logo was and also 2 holes where the 4x4 logo is.

I should just take my emblems off on both sides (just in case one side is different), but I want to be sure I have double sided tape to put it back on if needed, like if there are holes.

If there are holes, I just thought of an easy way to fill them in. I could remove the fender to have access to the inside. Temporarily put a strip of strong tape on the inside of the fender to cover the holes from the back. Then from the outside, fill in the holes with some bondo. Cleanly scrape off the excess and wipe with a damp cloth to remove residue. Repeat as necessary if the bondo shrinks. Possibly do some light sanding if needed, keeping the sanding to as small an area as possible. Use really fine sandpaper, that way I may be able to buff the surrounding paint with polishing compound. Use a paint touch up pen or touch up tube with a small brush to paint the dots where the bondo is. (ideally dab on a bit of primer first). Then remove the tape from the inside of the fender and reinstall the fender.

It could be done with fiberglass resin too - it's definitely more durable, but I find it's too messy and may end up running all over my fenders, causing me to need to sand and spray paint a much larger area. But I think bondo will be OK. The fenders don't see as much abuse and vibration from something like a door or tailgate, so less chance of it cracking an popping out.
