Loadstar Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks for the reply..........looking for an original...... Found one on a truck in Texas....fire truck turned into flatbed....but he wouldn't sell just the tag. I saw your truck at macungie.......WOW!!! I looked through the whole book on the restoration. You guys did a great job on her!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Start hitting the flea markets like Hershey and the Spring Melt. Of all of the ones to look for this is the most common. Give us a price range you are willing to go and we'll keep our eye out for you. If all else fails take the one you got from Cal to an engraver and have an accurate replica made. That might turn out to be cheaper. If Cal's is not close enough do a rubbing of a real one and an engraver can work from that.

Thats when i decided to find the real deal or leave it the way it is . As far as price I would certainly pay more than i should.....The tag is pretty much all the truck i have is missing (except for equipment).
