Generally, name brands have their logos n data plates in plain site. Likely this is a generic/knockoff. Best bet is making some brackets that fit your use scenario or finding some vehicle specific brackets n modifying those.

Looks like you could zip some L brackets into that rear deck making sure the screws/bolts get through metal and call it good.

That looks like a Federal Signal SignalMaster from a Vector or VISION.
Therefore, there will be no corresponding brackets (for singel mounting) to buy.

I found whelen mounts that MIGHT be able to be made to work without having to drill. I thank you all for the help. Was sold to me as an off car pull but he never said it didn't come with brackets.

Do you have pictures of the face of the controller of the front (light side) of the bar?

That's federal signal or a good knock off. Probably removed from under a vision/vector as another member stated.

Well drat! I have looked around.. and may wind up taking some whelen brackets and modify them so it would work. Thank you all for your help
Honestly you can probably make something out of universal mounts or even angle metal from the hardware store. Even if this is the version that was stand alone it's probably going to be cost prohibitive to order the actual brackets from federal signal. You should be able to rig something up, the housings were pretty robust. You have the right controller, so that's a great first step.

I'm trying to do my best not to do too much drilling and yeah I got lucky picking this up for 100$. I am gonna take my time and build something a little better than what I currently have on the piece as it.. it looks pretty terrible haha.

(The deck lights are both solid red no flashing happens on the deck lights whatsoever) It doesn't look too awfully bad
