When we were recently travelling in the Ottawa area (in mid-September 2007), we had a mishap which required the purchase and installation of a new truck cap for our 2002 Ford Ranger. We’d just like to commend the staff at Van & Truck World in Ottawa for their prompt and helpful service. They accommodated us (and our dog!) by getting the work done quickly and efficiently. Please say thank you to the staff in Ottawa for us!

Excellent service, stands behind their products and installation.

To Whom It May Concern.

I am writing this in order to give recognition to your staff at the Ottawa location.

During the past few weeks, I have frequented your store in Ottawa looking for advice on some work I was considering for my Jeep. During that time, I found the staff to be extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable! At more than one occasion, I even found that the staff members remembered my name…which is extremely rare these days. Although the dollar amount of my modification was not extreme, I was treated; much to my surprise with the greatest of respect.

I hope you will pass this letter of recognition and give kudos to Eric, Serge (I hope I spelled them right) and most notably Kirk West who exhibited infinite patience with me during my moments of indecision and took the time to alleviate my concerns. Kirk’s patience is only overshadowed by his skill as he installed my lift very professionally and in excellent time; even allowing me to modify the requirements part way through the install.

In no small thanks to these people, I will definitely be returning to Van and Truck world for any other work and/or parts I require for my vehicles. Great job guys!

Best Regards,

Julian Katsarov

Truck accessories are essential part of almost all the truck bodies. Perfect truck accessories always enhance the function and also style of the Original Equipment Manufacturer truck. Aluminium Truck Bodies can never be so attractive without the help of these aftermarket manufacturers. This automotive aftermarket can be described as the indigenous part of automotive industry which is always concerned with the distribution, manufacturing, retailing, remanufacturing and also installation of various parts of the vehicle. The installation of different parts including tools, chemicals, accessories and equipments for both heavy and light vehicles are also done by the aftermarket manufacturer.

The aftermarket also covers collision, performance, appearance, replacement of various parts, etc. It supplies a large variety of service truck body’s parts of different qualities. You can get the products in different prices as well. Custom truck bodies can easily be prepared with the help of these aftermarket manufacturers.

Consumers can go to their preferred repairing centre to repair their vehicles. Professional centers are also there to repair Aluminium Truck Bodies and other service truck bodies. The repairing always makes the truck stronger.

In a typical truck body, hard parts or core parts are different from the accessories. Hard parts contain water pumps, distributors, radiators, etc. Some of well known accessories that are essential for a truck body include nerf bars, tonneau covers, grille guards, autocrats, chrome fender trim, billet grilles, hood deflectors etc. These accessories are used to make custom truck bodies. Bed extenders can also be included in the list.

Till the year 1990 the concept of beautification of the truck by extra accessories was not popular. Earlier some famous manufacturer such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, American Motors, Chryster, etc. regarded light trucks such as Dodge, Jeep, Ford, etc, as work vehicle. They did not adapt any accessories in these truck bodies. In these cases it can be seen that aftermarket manufacturers were always concerned about work heightening accessories such as spreaders, life gates and snowplows. With these accessories any truck will look extra ordinary. Sometimes these accessories also help in increasing the utility of the truck.

But in later days the aftermarket manufacturers extended their services and offered large forms of truck sizes and also types. Trucks are at present looking more gorgeous with the usage of these attractive accessories. Custom truck bodies are famous for their style and utility. The truck owners have become more attached to their truck nowadays. They need something more than just a mere tool box to decorate the Aluminium truck bodies. The demand of the owners to decorate their trucks with accessories is increasing day by day. The aftermarket manufacturers are always there to fulfill the need of these truck owners. There are a number of accessories to increase the functionalities and style of a truck. These accessories should always be well-fitted and co-ordinate with the design of the service truck bodies.

Various manufacturers are there who are famous for truck accessories. Specialty Equipment Market Association or SEMA is such a primary association for manufacturing custom truck bodies’ accessories.
