4 State Trucks owner Bryan “Bossman” Martin says his shop’s calling card is a “mild to wild” approach – from small custom upgrades to tricked-out custom builds, he and his crew can oblige.

The shop opened in 1979 as a new and used parts store and repair center in the quad-state area in southern Missouri. In the late 90s, the shop started selling chrome accessories and doing custom installation and upgrade work.

Today, 4 State Trucks – and its truck club, the Chrome Shop Mafia, which gained notoriety on the CMT series Trick My Truck – operate a fully-stocked retail store with parts and accessories, installation shop, customization and fabrication shop and salvage yard.

Martin says the shop’s custom work is all about options – for whatever part, he says, 4 State carries a variety of different options to choose when upgrading.

“I think that’s what differentiates us from other chrome shops,” he says. “We carry such a wide scope of accessories, customers always have an extensive menu to choose from.”
