    Might check the phone book yellow pages for where you live.

    I doubt you would be interested in traveling to the ones I have used.

    Not sure where you live but I imagine there should be a sign/graphics shop around somewhere. They should be able to print/cut pretty much anything you'd want and maybe even help you with the design. Whatever you do don't get those metallic letters they have at the truckstops. :)

    If you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, get on over to Dallas Peterbilt. They did my graphics (sorry, no pics) and they're serious about good work. When they get done you'll be stylin'.

    Action Grafix, friend of mine's company, he'll do any lettering you want in pretty much any color, even diamond plate look. he's out of Mesa, Az and i'm pretty sure he'll mail the lettering to you. Tell him "Preston" Sent ya.

    If you use the online yellow pages, there are usually some reviews tabbed onto the page. Or which ever shop you stop by will usually have some photos of what they have done in the past.

    I just wanted to suggest you use a magnetic backer. The advantage is if some other company requires you to remove your sign or if you need to use another truck its simple to take it off. Yes they stay there at 75 mph, at least they dont come off my dodge.
