They also told him that if you order a vintage bracket that is not in stock, they can actually make them from scratch (in one case it was a RH bracket for a '72 Fury and it turned out beautiful)! I am amazed at how supportive Unity is for the classic/antique market.

Keep in mind that there are significant differences in the bracket with the curve for the pillar and the angle at which the light mounts and protrudes, both on the X and Y plane. Also the shaft arm length varies (longer/shorter depending on application). So both of those parts need to be exactly right for the application. And Unity should be able to tell you this.

And by the way, there is no difference between a GM branded light and the Unity light. It's just an extra detail to have have the GM topper tag. Otherwise the parts are exactly the same as any other Unity light. Often times after 40 years, the original GM light rusted, broke, or fell apart, and could easily be replaced by stock Unity replacement parts. So that's why you may see a mixture of parts out in the wild.

On most police cars (old and new), there is an option code for this. But I'm not sure about the trucks.

Does anyone have a spotlight on their truck that shows up on the SPID?

Thanks for your input Tom....and yes you are right a phone call would be the best route it would take a lot of the guess work out.
Apparently these spotlights were dealer options, and would therefore not be on the SPID.
