Anyone know anything about an extra-long Signal-Stat bar?

[Night Patrolman]

While I was browsing the internet, I saw a pic of a 1970s GMC VanDura in NYPD colors, but what really caught my attention was that it had an extra-long version of the dual-beacon Signal-Stat bar. I've never been able to find that pic again no matter how hard I've tried, and all I know is that somebody said that these vans had air conditioning.

Anybody know anything about this variant of the Signal-Stat bar or know about the pic I'm talking about?

Haven't seen it, but I'm sure Signal Stat offered the cross bar in different lengths. Same beacons would have been used.

Don't recall seeing the photo of the GMC, and it is not the greatest angle for your purposes, but here's a '77 photo of bunch of NYPD Dodge vans with extra long Signal Stat bars. It was not unusual for manufacturers to offer more than one length.

Cool! Never knew there were Dodge Vans outfitted like that!

Party vans for the TPF.

Those vans were personnel transports for the Tactical Patrol Force (TPF).
