Owens Salvage is the Mecca of good road tested parts. I have known Bob and Linda for years and they are the only salvage yard I trust enough to just tell them to use their best judgement. Basically a blank check. If you need some good stuff at a reasonable price, call the Duke of Wellington.

Tman · 08-06-2011, 10:37 PM

Ditto! Bob and family are good folk! Have bought a few things from him over the years and was beyond satasfied!

Andy · 08-06-2011, 11:05 PM

Bob is the best of the best. Never a worry when dealing with Bob. Trust the Duke of Wellington!!!

**Jeff Norwell** · 08-06-2011, 11:10 PM

I have come to know Bob personally, and he is one one the most honest,fair and decent folks I know. Always ready to help out a brother hotrodder and car person.
I have found parts and pieces for all my projects from Owens Salvage.
There is NO other Like Bob Owens. A true asset to our hobby.
A1 service with a smile.

**blacktopbuddha** · 08-06-2011, 11:19 PM

Tops in my book. Bob's been a huge contributor to the Alliance Auction at the HAMB Drags over the years. Doesn't have to but he does. Guy's a rock.

Buick59 · 08-07-2011, 12:42 AM

I'll ad to the testimonials as well. I need interior parts for my 68 Impala, Bob took the doors apart packaged them up and delivered them to me at the GNRS.

If you ever get the chance to visit his yard, it is MUST do for any car guy.

**OahuEli** · 08-07-2011, 01:22 AM

Gotta give 'em a thumbs up too. My dad had been looking high and low in Colorado and Arizona for a piece of windshield trim for his OT '72 Impala with no luck. When I learned about Owens Salvage on here I shot them an email describing the part and got an affirmative answer right back. Emailed the info to my dad who contacted them and got exactly what he needed in great shape, great price and quickly. Cannot ask for more than that. Many Mahalo's Owens Salvage!

**Kerry** · 08-07-2011, 03:04 AM

Bob is a rock solid guy you can trust. Sounds like he's running for office but he's too honest for that. Seriously his word is golden.

**HOTRODPRIMER** · 08-07-2011, 07:40 AM

Bob came through for me again,,

I have bought a lot of parts from Bob over the last 8 years,mostly '54 Ford parts and he has never failed to have what I needed and treated me fair. HRP

big hugh ness · 08-07-2011, 04:01 PM

Bob's right up there. Everything arrived no problem.

AnimalAin · 08-07-2011, 08:07 PM

Simply the best. Huge selection of parts, combined with friendly, helpful, and fast service. Bob and his guys are top-notch.

**Royalshifter** · 08-07-2011, 08:39 PM

I feel good when I am around Bob because he makes me feel tall....seriously Bob has supplied some wonderful parts for my Victoria that I could not find and the shipping was lightning fast....thanks Bob for your help.

earl schieb · 08-07-2011, 11:55 PM

When I die, I wanna be buried at Owens Salvage Company....cause if I was, I'd know Bob would pull my weeds and polish my tombstone--he's that kind of guy!

But seriously, if FTB's got it(and he's got an amazing inventory--I've been there!), you'll get it 1) described honestly 2)priced fairly and 3) delivered swiftly.....I know from experience!
Bob, Linda, Isabella and Axle are like family to me, and I can't say enough good about them or the way they do business

**Pooch** · 08-08-2011, 01:11 AM

If you need parts Bob is the guy to call. He has helped me out on several hard to find parts.

Silva · 08-08-2011, 07:20 AM

Great guy and A-1 service to boot!

**Terry** · 08-08-2011, 07:56 AM

Over the years I can't think of a car I've owned or own now that doesn't have a Owens Salvage part keeping it on the road.

In a world where trust and respect is earned, Bob has mine in Spades! And I know it will be a relationship that like his parts will go on and on and on and on........

**Acme Speed Shop** · 08-08-2011, 09:08 AM

I know this has ben said already but here we go again.

I first met Bob at the Lone Star Round up about 4 years ago. I could tell right away that he was a good guy. I have called for parts several times and each time he either had them or found them for me. He ships quickly too.

He is the salt of the earth and a real exception to the rule when it comes to people. Not only the best source for used and hard to find parts, he is one of the best people I know.

Owens Salvae is the BEST!!

VOTE FOR BOB.

hudsoncustom · 08-08-2011, 11:51 AM

Nothing but good things to say about Owens Salvage...but if you're a HAMBER, you already know that.

Thanks BOB!

**Bob K** · 08-08-2011, 08:21 PM

Hey FTB, thanks for the door handle parts, they did the trick and got here within 4 days. As always you are a super good supplier, don't know what I would do without you.

**Buzzard II** · 08-09-2011, 12:12 AM

I've bought many parts from Bob over the last few years, and everything has been great!! If there was a hall of fame for junkyard guys, the first two inductiees would be Flat Top Bob and Fred Sanford!!

Thanks Bob!!

abraun · 12-01-2011, 09:35 AM

Ever try to find Parking light lenses for a 48 Studebaker M-5 pickup??? I checked every Studebaker site I could find---nothing! Then I heard about Owens Salvage on HAMB. Bob responded right away "We can do that"! He came up with a pair at the right price. Problem Solved.

Big Tony · 12-02-2011, 01:40 AM

Once again I needed a part and Bob came to my rescue. Better yet it was on my door step in a total of 3 days. Parts are in excellent shape and ready to rock

Thanks for the hard to find bezel at a fair price. Later......

AeroMonte · 12-28-2011, 07:53 PM

I posted on here looking for a specific item. Bob messaged me that he had what I was looking for and sent pics. I sent payment and 3 days later I got the item, just as described and priced more than reasonable. I'm buying more from Bob as I write. He is a great help with my oddball project. I will be a customer of Owens Salvage for as long as Bob wants to stay in business. Thank you Bob, you are a true asset to the hobby.

1oldtimer · 01-11-2012, 09:20 PM

ANOTHER great transaction..........Bob is the best.

Thanks again Bob,
Dan

Al's.C.D.T · 01-19-2012, 04:30 AM

AeroMonte · 01-24-2012, 09:30 PM

Bob came through again with some parts I needed. I had my parts in 3 days, well packaged and priced very fair. Bob was helpful with pics and he is an asset to this hobby. Thanks Bob. I'm a lifelong customer as long as you want to be in business.

D.Mac · 01-25-2012, 10:54 AM

Been looking for a hard to find part for my Olds for way too long. Put a wanted ad on the HAMB, and Owens Salvage had it. The part is nice, I paid over the phone, and it was shipped right out. Great service and Bob's a nice guy to do buisness with.
Thanks, Doug.

rustyfords · 02-21-2012, 01:30 PM

Bob came through on an obscure little part for my 54. It was affordable and Bob got it to me fast.

This is a vendor that you can buy from with TOTAL confidence.

oldnslow · 03-05-2012, 06:09 PM

Bob, thanks for finding a cherry 52 chevy tag light for me, it will sure look better than some Chinese P.O.S. on my 48 Chevy 3100. Great service, fair pricing and fast shipping I will try you FIRST for the hard to find parts,

oldgrezmonke · 03-15-2012, 06:23 AM

I needed an air cleaner for my Falcon . He had one . When it came , I found cracks . We worked it out - good person with whom to do business . I will , no doubt , check with him for future needs .

bald_and_grumpy · 04-14-2012, 05:51 PM

Just another quick note of praise for Bob. He brought some parts for me to the Roundup, and I couldn't be happier with them. The hood he brought me is the nicest used part I have ever seen, and the leaf springs are exactly what I wanted.

Great prices for high quality parts.

Thanks again,
Pete

Cubby · 04-20-2012, 01:04 AM

I received my '50 Ford dash from Bob yesterday. He was very helpful and very quick in emailing. Definitely won't be my last purchase from him!

rogerbrookss · 06-23-2012, 01:12 AM

According to me, Owens Salvage is the Mecca of good road tested parts. I have known Bob and Linda for years and they are the only salvage yard I trust enough to just tell them to use their best judgement. Basically a blank check. If you need some good stuff at a reasonable price, call the Duke of Wellington.

doozcoupe · 06-24-2012, 10:00 AM

Owens Salvage is the place for that hard to find part. Fast service too. Ordered on Tuesday, got the part on Friday. Thanks, Flat Top Bob!

killer service and parts. great people to deal with

rustyfords · 01-09-2013, 09:43 AM

I've ordered parts from Bob 3 times....just received the most recent part.

You always get what you pay for and Bob is jonny-on-the-spot when it comes to communication with you and shipping out parts.

He's not the cheapest parts guy I've ever dealt with, but I'm glad to pay someone more for good stuff and stellar service.

**Terry** · 01-12-2013, 09:22 AM

Once again Bob comes through! Best in the Biz!

8inarow · 01-14-2013, 06:58 PM

Got the grille parts for my 51 special. Looking much better than before. Thanks for working with me on finding the correct parts.

porkchop4464 · 01-14-2013, 09:02 PM

I never bought anything from this guy or even heard of him; but I guess he is doing something right to have 5 pages of praise for his services. And when you stop and think of it, how can you not like a guy known as "Flat Top Bob."

leonxpipeman · 01-19-2013, 05:53 PM

This was the first time that I delt with Big-Top-Bob and he was extremely helpfull to deal with. I was more that satisfied with the results of what I had purchased from him and will surely deal with his company in the near future.

davew478 · 02-05-2013, 05:55 PM

I received Great Service from Owens Salvage. He had a hood spring for my 1951 Plymouth Hardtop. AAAAAA++++++++++++++

T42 · 02-05-2013, 09:52 PM

These guys came thru for me again! When ever I need a hard to find part, Robert comes thru for me! Cant beat their prices either! Thanks guys. Dan

liljonny · 02-16-2013, 10:09 PM

F.T.B. is pure excellence. We had a hiccup with UPS but Bob was on the ball and I got my parts. Super good quality even for being 55yrs old! I even placed a second order just as soon as I opened the first order box.
Bob has what we all need and I will continue to go to him.

jetmech69 · 03-01-2013, 03:23 PM

Ditto on the excellent service. Bob and myself played phone tag but after a few days got it figured out. He had my hard to find 54 Belair steering part at a great price. Even let me us my own shipping. Thanks again Bob for the wonderful experience.

1953 chevy · 03-02-2013, 10:29 PM

Highly recomend Bob. Very honest. Had the parts for my 56 buick. 3rd time buying parts. All 3 times a very smooth transaction. Thanks again!

I need interior parts for my 68 Impala, Bob took the doors apart packaged them up and delivered them to me at the GNRS. If you ever get the chance to visit his yard, it is MUST do for any car guy. __________________ Website stuff... www.automotive-photography.net http://automotive--photography.blogspot.com

My dad had been looking high and low in Colorado and Arizona for a piece of windshield trim for his OT '72 Impala with no luck. When I learned about Owens Salvage on here I shot them an email describing the part and got an affirmative answer right back. Emailed the info to my dad who contacted them and got exactly what he needed in great shape, great price and quickly. Cannot ask for more than that. Many Mahalo's Owens Salvage! __________________ There are no dumb questions, but there are plenty of dumb answers.

But seriously, if FTB's got it(and he's got an amazing inventory--I've been there!), you'll get it 1) described honestly 2)priced fairly and 3) delivered swiftly.....I know from experience!

In a world where trust and respect is earned, Bob has mine in Spades!

Acme Speed Shop Alliance Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: so cal Posts: 1,318	Re: Owens Salvage--Quality used PARTS I know this has ben said already but here we go again. I first met Bob at the Lone Star Round up about 4 years ago. I could tell right away that he was a good guy. I have called for parts several times and each time he either had them or found them for me. He ships quickly too. He is the salt of the earth and a real exception to the rule when it comes to people. Not only the best source for used and hard to find parts, he is one of the best people I know. Owens Salvae is the BEST!! VOTE FOR BOB. __________________ ACME SPEED SHOP Automotive Art & Apparel check us out at; www.acme-speedshop.com
