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.
Within 10 to 15 years the delicate factory three position light switch under dash usually broke. Replacing this switch on a working truck in the 1940’s was usually not an option. Now almost 80 years later few owners of these early GM trucks even know the light switch existed. In most cases the little single filament light bulb and socket still remains hidden behind the middle of the dash panel. A horizontal slot in the dash once allowed light to be emitted into the cab area. Just right for reading a map!
NOW, they are once again available from Jim Carter Truck Parts. Various tooling was made so all parts of the switch would fit together. One side illuminates the dash cluster, one side is for the map light and the middle position is off. Just like GM did it! All 1940-46 Chevrolet and GMC trucks have the factory under dash holes for installation. Contact Jim Carters Truck Parts at 1-800-842-1913 or check on line at https://oldchevytrucks.com/.
