I found a guy on the internet that made those for me. I took a picture of my truck and gave him the dimensions of the real truck and the New Bright and he made the same graphic to scale. The biggest pain was cutting all the wires to remove the body from the chasis so I could paint it. Then reconnecting all the wires and crossing your fingers that everything still works. Had to paint the interior as well, because the yellow had grey interior with yellow console and mine is black.

It was a lot of work but when you live in this area during the winter you need something to work on. Been adding chrome under the hood of the real one but that gets expensive.
