I'm looking for an orange plexiglass old school bug guard for my dually. Do they make them anymore or does anyone have one they'd part with?

Do you know what size it's supposed to be? Someone donated one to me and it's not my style. Not sure if it's orange.

Nobody has made these for a very long time. You'll either have to find a used one or make your own. Saw a guy bend up some aluminum for the mounting brackets and cut a new one out of colored plexi. Turned out pretty dang good

Few years ago when I was searching for one, still seen few pop up on cragslist in various areas for sale. But convincing a person that I am real person and want to pay for getting one shipped was the hard task.

If you still want one and find one in my area, I'll pick it up and sent it to you.

I found some extruded aluminum that should work to hold 1/8" thick plexiglass. Now to find a four or six inch wide translucent orange plexiglass strip as wide as the truck.

I think what you want is Acrylic. A quick internet search founds all kinds of it in orange. It seems to be only sold in sheets rather than strips. You could get 2 sheets of 24X36 and make it work if you put a seam in the middle. This is one of those projects that's gonna cost 3x the time/effort & money and end up so-so and tossed in the trash in the near future. Been down that road many times. Try this place. They offer "custom" sizes.
