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.
One of the rarest Chevrolet dealer installed truck accessories of the 1950's. Charles Callis of Union City, Tennessee recently found this original radiator cover that he installs for shows on his 1953 1/2 ton.
Note the Chevrolet logo on the lower right side to prove it's the real thing!
It is pictured in the 1949 Chevrolet Salesman's Data Book on the Truck Accessory page. Chevrolet describes it as:
"For all models of trucks. Adjustable; constructed of Fabrikold. Aids engine warm-up. Protects engine from cold blasts. Improves efficiency in stop-and-go operations."
NOTE:
The thin oil cloth type material did not last long either on the truck or during off season in storage. No doubt the dealer discarded his unsold stock in a few years.
