Iowa Customs: A Peak Behind the Brand

With so many heavy-hitter brands in competing for driver loyalty, one relatively newer parts manufacturer (since 2016) has captured driver loyalty through transparent pricing, system-level upgrades around lighting and modular truck customization. 

Here's a deep dive on Iowa Custom Truck Parts. 

Iowa Customs: The Story Behind the Brand

Iowa Customs has lived up to their slogan – Driven to be Bold— by pushing the limits of truck customization with high-quality accessories built for truck drivers who were never meant to blend in.

In 2022, they recieved an Inc. 5000 recognition for being one of America's fastest growing companies. 

For the better part of a decade, they’ve expanded their repertoire of aftermarket custom upgrades, adding increasingly more accessories to their inventory.

Incorporating outside brands like Merritt Dyna-Deck systems and Legendary watermelon lights alongside their in-house lineup of American-made truck accessories.  

Originally founded by Vice President Terry Wurzer in Caroll, Iowa, and currently led by David Wurzer, this family-owned truck parts company manufacturers 100% American-made truck accessories for drivers that want bold owner-operator styling.

Iowa Customs is comprised of a small, yet agile team of parts experts focused on delighting their customers with a wide range of durable accessories with make/model-specific fitment.

While their bread and butter remains the Peterbilt/Kenworth niche, they craft plenty of useful parts for other widely-used truck models. 

Built In-House: How Iowa Customs Designs, Fabricates, and Ships Unique Semi-Truck Parts

Operating out of a 50,000-square-foot warehousing, fabrication, and shipping facility, Iowa Customs ensures that every product is designed, machined, and welded entirely in-house using state of the art CNC technology and advanced welding techniques.

With a seamless order-to-delivery process, Iowa Customs ensures drivers get a reliable replacement part or custom accessory that will last for years.

They start with quality engineering and CAD/CNC programming to craft the product blueprint. Then, they manufacture it, package it in the warehouse, and ship it out.

For owner-operators who crave a 100% unique look, there are true custom options available alongside the pre-made in-stock lineup of accessories.  

Making Iowa Custom Parts for Classic & Modern Big Rigs

Iowa Customs crafts premium universal truck parts as well as model-specific products for popular trucks like the Peterbilt 379, 386, 389, 567, 579, and 589, and the Kenworth T660, T680, T880, and W900 models.

• Bumper accessories
• Lighting solutions
• Interior sleeper cab accessories
• Custom deck plates

The choice range on aftermarket product designs is truly vast. Nearly every area of the truck can be customized using just Iowa Customs-made upgrades.  

Whether it’s a small additional accessory like a license plate holder, step plate insert, or metal light bracket, or as big as a stainless steel rear T-bumper or 4-drawer cabinet with a fridge and microwave, Iowa Customs makes it.

The Most Popular Parts that Enhance Driver Identity & Over-the-Road Livability
