Where do I get this material?

It's usually reflective.
You cut the strips and stick it on

Depending on the city regulations, it might be either engineer grade reflective or high intensity prismatic reflective vinyl. You can get both from most distributors.

It's always reflective, and usually DG3 material. If it's a new truck it'll come from the factory that way. If it's a retrofit, you'll need to find out from the department what level reflective they are required to have in your area. DG3, I think, is now nationally required, or an equivalent product (like Reflexite). Lots of vendors out there selling "pre-cut" kits of chevron material with a solid sheet underneath the striping.

Make sure you use the proper grade of reflective, and cut out the strips. Grimco has a wide variety of reflective.

The guy did call it chevron. Reflective strips it is.. Sounds like a pita to me!

We just got a new truck and it is printed and not strips. On that note I say it would look nicer if it were done with strips.

Sounds good i will either order rolls of it cut or cut my own.

Thanks!

As far as that Chevron Design on the truck I would have that printed, Ill be damned if someone sat there and peice by peice that image, thats not good sense when that thing can be printed

3M 983 Series

3M offers the 983 "Diamond Grade Conspicuity Markings". It's got that prismatic reflective look on it. They come in 2",3",4" and 6"x50yds rolls. 14 mil-16 mil thick. Comes in White, Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Yellow-Green, Yellow, and Red. It's got a pressure sensitive adhesive on it--pretty cool stuff, in my opinion.
FDC offers it, too.
