Been working on one and so far have all the side art, cp, surround & lighted marquee sourced and ordered. What i cant seem to find is the plastic topper, that bolts to the top & holds the ad/flyer above the lighted marquee. I added a pic i found for reference. I did a search and saw there was a guy a couple years back making repros of these but stopped. Any help on whether finding a repro or an original would be appreciated! |

I have a CO2 laser. I can cut and etch acrylic. If you had good pics with measurements I might be able to help you. I looks like two sheets of acrylic clipped together. The back piece might be pocketed to hold the flyer. |

Here is a closeup of a repro that was done a couple years back. It's 2 pieces of plexi using screws to hold it together and there is some etching design inside one piece that lets the light reflect through it. I can get the measurements for the base where it attaches to the cab and estimate the width based on pictures. I think for it would need to fit an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet for height. It doesn't need the text above it but that is a nice touch. |
| Mike A:
I can do that. 8.5 by 11 is within the cutting area of my laser. Once you get me the dimensions including thickness, I can tell you how much the materials cost. |

Here is the bracket that it bolts to on the bottom. I included the measurements. I believe each piece would be "L" shaped where it screws in. Front piece looks to be just plain, while the back piece would have the etching for lighting. I appreciate you looking at this. |
