Texas Chrome Shop makes it easy to find semi truck parts and accessories. Online gallery/store helps truckers get ideas on customizing their semi truck.
When truckers leave home for the road, their focus is usually on everything but finding semi truck chrome accessories for their “Big Rig”. However, something may interest them to call us and ask: “Where can I find semi truck accessories to trick my truck?
Unlike light truck accessories, semi truck accessories are manufactured specifically for a truck, such as Peterbilt or Kenworth accessories. Semi truck accessory manufacturers also produce universal accessories. Universal accessories are designed to be used on all makes and models of trucks. If you have the VIN available, we can look up your truck and see specific manufacturer diagrams to determine if accessories are specifically made for your vehicle. For example, if you’re looking for Peterbilt chrome or Freightliner accessories, they are easier to locate with a VIN.
It makes it much easier for us to find accessories for your truck if you have a quality photo to work with when we communicate with semi truck accessory manufacturers. Many times we can locate specific parts with a broadcast email to many semi truck accessory manufacturers.
Online catalogs are the best to locate your semi truck accessories because most manufacturers keep their websites current with the latest additions to their product lines. If you need help locating semi truck chrome accessories for you rig, visit us anytime at www.Texaschromeshop.com
At least two to three times a day someone calls with an older truck application. They are usually frustrated because they haven’t found any chrome parts and accessories for their truck. Ask us if a custom quote is available for the accessory you want. This is not an unusual request. We have the tooling in place to make almost any customized semi truck accessory you request.

Triple R Diesel is offering custom t-shirts for Christmas. The shirts allow kids to color the semi truck and make it permanent by just using an iron. Check out what Custom Rigs Magazine wrote about this new item:
Seems like everyone is gearing up for Christmas–and Thanksgiving turkeys haven’t even seen the inside of the ovens yet! For instance the Triple R Diesel guys down there in San Antonio, Texas, just let us know about some cool custom big-rig tee’s they have for kids. What’s interesting about these T-shirts is the kids have a hand in decorating them.
Triple R Diesel just added Big Rig Tees, which comes in a kit with a special set of fabric dye sticks that allow the kids to color the shirts with their own artistic impression.
To set the color permanently all that is needed is a household iron set on the cotton setting.Once they have finished coloring their shirt kids can’t wait to wear their new creation.
Now how cool is that for a kid’s Christmas gift!
Raul Mendez, one of the owners of Triple R, says, “The custom T’s are available through our Texas Chrome Shop for $14.95 in kid’s sizes. And we’ll be selling them at our booth in some of the larger trucks shows next year.”

Texas Chrome Shop’s Project One made the winter cover of Custom Rigs magazine.
If you are a subscriber to Custom Rigs, then you’ve probably already read their Winter issue from cover to cover. Those of you who aren’t subscribers better hoof it down to your local Petros or one of their Preferred Partner chrome shops who carry Custom Rigs because they only print a limited number of issues and those go really fast.

The Only Major U.S. Truck Show designed to attract thousands of Hispanic/Latino truckers will take place Oct.17-18th at the Fairplex Pomona. See the Mendez brothers Project 1 Peterbilt in the Texas Chrome Shop booth #333.The truck capturing the most attention at and wining BEST OF SHOW at a recent truck show was the Mendez brother’s radical Project 1 Peterbilt. Raul Jr. and Roland Mendez rolled in their beautiful rig off the trailer with the paint still wet and a few trim pieces still needing to be bolted on before the judging began. See this beautiful truck in the Texas Chrome Shop booth #333.
The Truck Show Latino will again be held in conjunction with the Construction Truck and Equipment Expo sponsored by The California Dump Truck Owners Association. The combined shows are in the heart of the Southwest’s greatest concentration of construction equipment and the largest U.S. Latino trucker population.
We are very excited to combine two events with such great potential. While each show has a different focus, they share multiple facets of equipment and audience/driver involvement, benefiting all attendees. The strong synergies of Latino’s in trucking and construction provide the perfect cross-over for exhibitors.
Once again there will be a Pride & Polish Truck Beauty Contest. Brining dozens of dazzling and decked-out big rigs, the competition for trophies and prizes will draw many admiring Latino truckers and their trucker friends.
Call us at 210-622-5757 or visit our website www.TexasChromeShop.com for more details.

Texas Chrome Shop wins Best of Show at GATS 2009. The truck capturing the most attention at the 11th annual GATS was Texas Chrome Shop’s radical Project 1 Peterbilt. Read what Overdrive Custom Rigs had to say about these years winners.
It wasn’t a surprise for anyone attending the 2009 Great American Trucking Show in Dallas to see a heavy contingency of custom rigs entered in Overdrive’s Pride & Polish truck beauty show. After all, trucking is big in Texas. The surprise was just how good the boys in the Lone Star state are when it comes to customizing their rides. Texas-based Z-Bar Transport, Lindamood Demolition, Bill Hall Jr Trucking, and trucks customized by the Texas Chrome Shop hauled away more than half of the Pride & Polish trophies.
The truck capturing the most attention at the 11th annual GATS was the Mendez brothers radical Project 1 Peterbilt. Raul Jr. and Roland Mendez rolled in their beautiful rig off the trailer with the paint still wet and a few trim pieces still needing to be bolted on before the judging began. The San Antonio, Texas, entry built by the Texas Chrome Shop ended up winning the prestigious Best of Show honors beating out the Chrome Shop Mafia’s Ivy’s Poison, another brand new limited mileage show truck. “We have customized 650 customer’s trucks over the years our little shop has been in business,” says Raul Mendez Jr. “But this is the first truck owned by our family to be customized. Roland came up with the concept two years ago,” explains Raul Jr. ” Steve Cervantes, our in-house artist, sketched his idea out and we let the drawing hang in on our office wall until this last February. We’d just look at the picture and talk about what we wanted and how to get it done.”
Roland says they rolled their ‘98 Peterbilt 379 into the shop in February to start the work.” The last four months we’ve worked night and day getting it done. Everyone in our shop had a role in how it turned out. Everyone took a lot of pride in their job and it shows.”
“Project 1 is the Texas Chrome Shop’s way of letting the country know what we can do down in San Antonio,” adds Raul Jr.” We can turn anyone’s dream [of owning a radical custom show truck] into a reality. The guys we have in our custom and paining shop are some of the best in the world.”
Custom fiberglass door panels, killer sound system, and creative design were just part of the reason the Texas Chrome Shop’s Project 1 caught show judges and show goer’s eyes.

HOT-ROD TEXAS PETE
San Antonio truck customizer’s 651st build a wild ride
It began as just a rough color pencil sketch and a short list of specifications/ideas scribbled on a notepad. Two years later San Antonio-based Texas Chrome Shop rolled its tricked-out, multi-hued hot-rod Peterbilt, Project 1, onto the carpet. A dream turned into a rolling work of big-rig art.
But the full-on custom ‘98 Pete 379 sitting proudly on display in Booth 12047 isn’t their first rodeo: Project 1 is actually the 651st build handled by the custom side of Triple R Diesel.
“This is the first custom truck our family has built for ourselves,” said Raul Mendez Jr.
“My brother Roland came up with the idea in 2007. But it wasn’t until February this year that we pulled the truck into our shop and began the transformation. We worked 18-hour days the past three weeks to get it finished for the show.”
The 750hp Caterpillar-powered custom rig was torn down to the bare frame and rebuilt inside and out.
“We should have named it Spare Time,” joked Roland. “It seems we spent every bit of our spare time making this dream come to life.”
“This is our dream truck - and probably a dream truck for a lot of others,” said Raul. “The design is radical, and it’s our shop’s way of letting the country know what we can do out of a little shop down in San Antonio, Texas. We bring trucker’s dreams to life.”
