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.
On the Advanced Design Pickups and larger trucks, the battery was under the passenger side of the cab floor. To protect the battery from road debris (gravel, sand and ice) it was important that it be protected from this coming from the right front tire.
Designers of the Chevrolet and GMC installed the Chevrolet / GMC Battery Shields; a metal plate riveted in place. A simple extra to what might have been a problem to customers.
(On the 1946 and older trucks the batteries were protected by the front of their battery tray being wider at the front.)
