About Okanagan Custom Trucks
A pickup rarely leaves the lot in the shape its owner actually needs. Racks, canopies, decks, lift and levelling work, lighting, hitches and towing gear all get added afterward, and the shops that take on that work sit somewhere between fabrication and outfitting. Okanagan Custom Trucks operates from 2902 45 Avenue in downtown Vernon, in the working blocks just off the main shopping streets where trades and service yards have long clustered.
Truck work in the North Okanagan gets asked to cover a lot of ground. The same vehicle might tow a boat down to Okanagan Landing in July, carry firewood off a Commonage acreage in October and climb a snowed in forest service road in February. That mix is worth describing on the phone, because the right canopy, suspension setup or towing package depends far more on what a truck actually does than on the badge on its tailgate. The shop can be reached at 236-426-0990, and it is sensible to ask about lead times as well as cost, since parts for a build often have to come up the valley.
More about the work is kept at okanagantruck.com. Anyone booking should also think about timing. Spring and early summer are when boat and trailer season starts, and fall is when everyone remembers they wanted a canopy before the weather turns, so those are the busy stretches in this trade. Vernon is the natural service stop for drivers coming in from Lumby, Armstrong and the lakeshore, which is part of why a shop like this can sit close to the centre rather than out on the highway.

Vernon sits far enough north that Kelowna crews treat it as a road trip, so the city keeps its own trades bench: independent auto shops, autobody work and a self-sufficient streak worth knowing about.
