Have you posted this over on eLightbars? I'm sure someone there will recognize it (if it isn't a shop-built one).

Never been on that site do you have to set up an account to use it?

Yes...You'll need an account.

Federal had old switchboxes like those, except that the switches were run horizontally and there were six and not four. The mounting points for the face plate were the same. It's hard to tell what size this one is. Do you have any measurements?

There is a possibility that these were made by someone and not mass-produced.

I don't have the measurements but I can get them. Ksp used them in the mustangs. I have seen two of them but the labels were worn off.

Might be a Federal like Mike said.











The front panel could have been fabbed up to accommodate specific switches. It measures 6 3/4"w X 3 1/4"h X 2 1/2"d

Default UPDATE

UPDATE.......
After showing the car with kentucky state police's show car we were able to find out what the switch box is. It is a Whelen PCC/4, any help in finding one of these would be greatly appriciated. Here is a pic of the cars side by side at the show.

Thanks, Chris
