• customvintagetrailerparts.com – Vintage Decals, hard to find light fixtures, exterior lights, and lenses. I have been making and restoring parts for my own restorations since 2003 and in last few years I have been refurbishing or making replacement parts for folks I’ve met at rallies. I specialize in difficult to find small parts and accessories for travel trailers from the 30s through 60s. The parts I have in stock are refurbished originals or reproductions made from originals that seem difficult or impossible to find. I have not had time to develop a more extensive website so my on-line inventory is currently very small but please email me if you are looking for a specific item. My turn around time is generally ten days to two weeks.
