THIS IS US! JIM CARTER TRUCK PARTS AT 45 YEARS
Thank you, thank you, for so many great customers like you that have helped our company reach
our 45th Anniversary. We are so proud to have reached this milestone. This is Jim Carter, I am
still very active as when I started restoring my first pickup, a 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton and needed parts! It now
sits in our Lobby!
Just a Few Extras:
- 17 employees with 130 combined year's expertice.
- Over one million parts in two buildings plus our very own nearby wood shop.
- Partisipated in numerous Swap Meets accross the country over the years.
- House so many more "USED" GM parts than any of our competitors.
- We supply parts to over 20 active nationwide Dealers and 2 in Canada.
- Helped with founding of All American Truck Club of New Zealand.
And now we've seen it all! A real example of American ingenuity.
Designed by an aftermarket company to keep an over tightened valve cover from leaking motor oil down the engine sides. A metal band is pushed over and around the base of the valve cover. Brass U-brackets are then secured by the two valve cover studs. This creates equal pressure around the valve cover perimeter to stop the leaks down the side of the engine. This creates a problem with so much dust from rural non-paved roads and used beside farm fields. Dust build-up combined with oil is a mess!
Scott Golding from Stratton, NE (a serious re-builder of early GM trucks) states he has seen these brackets on another 216 engine. Maybe a company in that area once offered them at local auto parts stores.
