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.
A redesigned dash was placed in the 1954 GMC. It was totally changed from the 1947-53 dash which had been in place six years.
Due to this new design there was a place to install the radio but not its speaker! The next best location for the speaker was in the headliner between the driver and passenger.
The GM engineering department realized that a protection was needed to protect this speaker from accidental contact with someone’s hand, a gun barrel of a hunter, or most any long item carried in the cab. The result was a metal perforated cover.
No doubt this was excellent speaker protection however, the heat from the metal cab roof in the summer probably did the most deterioration of the speaker. The speaker cover is now available in very limited numbers as RAS120 from Jim Carter Truck Parts.
