When looking around for aftermarket truck accessories, it can be hard to choose a brand in a market which includes so many competitors. Here is a list of some of the top names in truck accessories, and the products they have become known for. The 5 companies listed here represent some of the best producers of custom truck and billet products on the market. While choosing accessories for your truck is heavily influence by your personal taste with respect to style, each of these companies is able to provide you with anything you could ever need in terms of dressing up and protecting your vehicle. It's worth investigating their product lines, as one company may specialize in a specific area that puts them ahead of the pack.

1. Westin. This company has been in the grille guard business for over 33 years, and in that time they have honed their manufacturing process until they became known as one of the top makers of high-quality truck accessories. With 8 styles of grille guards and a full range of products running from step bars to billet grilles to bed rails, Westin makes something for everyone.

2. Go Rhino. The makers of truck accessories and other protective products since 1975, Go Rhino were one of the first companies to market a modular grille guard, Since then they have branched out to include a number of innovative step products, such as steps built into trailer hitches, grille guards and full-length side bars. Go Rhino is also known for their series of cargo management racks and systems.

3. Aries Automotive. Aries are relatively new in the truck accessories game, with just over 10 years in business. However, in that short amount of time they have managed to capture a significant portion of the market, largely through their excellent bull bars, grille guards and winch combos. Their tubular steel protection parts have a great reputation amongst truck buyers, and the company goes out of its way to ensure that the majority of its accessories are easily shippable - reducing costs for the buyer.

4. WAAG. This maker of fine grille guards and roof racks made the switch from manufacturing custom bedroom furniture to pickup truck products in 1993. While this might seem like a strange direction for a company to take, WAAG's 50 years of accumulated knowledge in the field of metal working meant that they were easily able to produce high quality, easy to install protective components. Their artistry has allowed them to create products which follow the curves of a vehicle's lines, making them among the first to market tubular steel side bars for dually trucks.

5. Ranch Hand. With 20 years experience in making pickup accessories, Ranch Hand is the brand behind some of the most trusted headache racks, grille guards and tool boxes on the market. Based in Texas, the company also builds products which are keyed to the styling of specific truck makers, such as Ford or Chevy, in order to make sure that their accessories fit in with the overall look of a vehicle.

G. Evans is the president and CEO of ChromePickup.com. For the last 20 years they have provided offline truck accessory retail products, and for the last 10 years have provided accessories available online. Find chrome headache racks and other additions at http://www.ChromePickup.com

1967 Ford Mustang

As the original "pony" car the Mustang has a special place in American history. Beyond that, it is probably the most recognizable muscle car ever produced as well. The first model came off the production line in '64, and more modern versions are still being produced today. A lot has changed since the vehicles inception and it is still commonly used as the standard which all other competitors try to imitate. The 1967 Ford Mustang is part of the first generation and was very similarl to previous model years. There were however a few different stylistic variations in regards to the body style and available accessories.

One of the most fundamental changes for this model year is that the company decided to utilize alternators instead of generators. While that decision seems logical today it was remarkable back in the 60's. Back up lights were welcomed additions as well, adding to the functionality of this classic. The original came with a choice of two separate seats, but '67 saw the manufacturer decide to use only bench seating. A solid rear axle was also standard on these vehicles, which made them drive "stiff" on the highway and in cities. It wouldn't be until the turn of the century that the frames would be overhauled entirely.

Trim packages came in 4 basic styles. Both the V6 and V8 equipped models came as either basic trim levels, or deluxe. Basic models were bare bones, providing only basic accessories like a radio and simple ventilation systems. Deluxe models could be equipped with a plethora of different accessories, had better choices for interior upholstery and had many more chrome and other body molding accentuations. High end models could actually be outfitted in such a variety of ways that the company had a hard time keeping orders straight.

The 1967 Ford Mustang was also the first of these cars to see real competition. Chevy finally released the Camaro as an answer to the 'Stang in '67. To answer back to these new competitors Ford decided to make the Mustang even more powerful. Available engines include the 120 horsepower inline 6 cylinder, 200 horsepower V8, 225 hp V8, 271 hp V8, and a 320 horsepower V8. The performance oriented GT500 came with its own specialized 428 cubic inch V8 capable of producing 355 horsepower. The average V8 found on most models is the 6.4 liter that produces 320 hp.

Compared with previous model years the frame was increased by 2 inches in length, while the front wheel base was increased by 2.5 inches. The rear of the 'Stang was also redesigned to look more concave and was highlighted by larger tail lights. Convertible models came with two separate glass panes that added protection and a distinct appearance. Also added to the 1967 Ford Mustang were side scoops that matched the color of the rest of the body, unlike previous models that had chrome scoops. Ford removed the block lettering which was placed on the front of each Mustang, giving the vehicle a more minimalist style.

Ford wanted to produce a budget minded muscle car that offered more power than any of the new competitors. To that end they succeeded fairly well. For the price, there really was no better equipped comparable markets from either Chevy, Mercury or Pontiac.

1984 chevy k30 value?

Hello i was wondering what the value would be on my truck. I looked at similar vehicles and figured around 4000 , give or take.
The truck is a 1984 chevy K30 one ton , regular cab 8ft box.It has a T400 transmission , dana 60 front and a corporate rear floating axel. NP-205 transfer case with custom driveshafts.454 big block with a few upgrades and nicely done duel exhaust.Hurst racing shifter , its an automatic by the way.

The truck originally had very low miles , the body has no dents , rust or any imperfections and is all original. The truck was professionally repainted and rhino lined along with a motor overhaul and performance upgrade less than 5k miles ago.Sits on american racing chrome rims.

any thoughts would be great!

$4k-5k sounds right, possibly more but hard to tell without pics. The market for those trucks (73-87) are becoming quite hot right now, the shortbeds for sport trucks and the 1tons for thier running gear for 4x4 projects.

good 73-87 Chevy truck message boards.
