We’ve Got Parts Up To Our Ears
We’ve got parts up to our ears, and we’ve had to expand online to help get these vintage classic car and truck parts and accessories sold! Come see what’s up! We have a wide variety of parts and accessories in our shop. Recently we added a Square online store, as well as our Etsy page, HotRodTreasures.

1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside
The 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside was completed in July of 2017. It was a complete frame-off restoration from top to bottom.

After a lot of man hours doing prep work on the body and bed, we were able to get a good couple…

A durable rhino-lining was also applied to the bed of the truck to improve the longevity and durability of this treasured family truck. December 23rd, 2019We have applied an epoxy primer to the Dodge DE200 Crew Cab, making the surface a…
