For $125 my solution to that problem would have been:

Phone: "Hey Dad! Could you bring the truck to *address*? Oh, and bring the dolly, would ya? Imma need it."
Numero Uno advantage of living in Texas; nearly everyone has a truck.

Hell, even my car has a truck bed!! (Ranchero FTW)

I don't know how much you would be stuck on the idea of having the original, but something like that wouldn't be to hard to build.

The only trick would be the marquee, but you could talk to someone who makes MAME cab marquees or get a piece of glass etched.
