We soon became one of the largest wholesale and retail truck accessory stores in West Texas, and are pleased to continue to offer quality products and service at fair and reasonable prices. By the early 1990s we were able to add to our offerings commercial work truck product lines by Knapheide and Weatherguard, thereby increasing our customer base and broadening our ability to serve the needs of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. remained actively involved in the business operations until his retirement in the late 1990s. In 2005, Trip’s life-long dream of getting into manufacturing became a reality and Pick-Up Pals began building custom beds.

A spray-in bedliner helps protect your truck bed from scratches, scuffs, and wear while adding a grippier surface for whatever you’re hauling.
Tools, gear, equipment, and more can lead to your bed taking a beating. A quality liner helps it hold up better over time.
Ask Pick-Up Pals about bedliner options for your truck.

The right work truck isn’t one-size-fits-all. What matters is what you need it to do.
A crane bed can add lifting capability for field service. A dump body can make moving materials faster and easier. Flatbeds and goosenecks can expand hauling capability, while specialized storage can keep tools and equipment organized and accessible.
At Pick-Up Pals, we can help build a work truck around the demands of your trade. Simply tell us what the job requires, and we’ll help you build for it.
