sits in our Lobby!

- 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.

There is sometimes a discussion among early Chevy truck owners if their trucks came with a crank-hole cover in their grille. Here is the scoop!
All of their original 1939-1940 Chevrolet grilles came with this cover! Without it they would look incomplete. A very unattractive hole is visible when the cover is removed. The cover must be in place to have a smooth center vertical bar.
Important: Replacement 1939-40 grilles (not made by General Motors) have no cover produced. In place of a cover is a decorative round outer hole attached to the inner hole that is usually not provided. The two items attached together allow the necessary opening to enable a hand crank to rotate the engine by a person standing in front of the truck. Thus, there is no need to remove anything to crank the 216 engine manually as there was when the truck was new.
FYI: There was originally a removable crank hole cover on original Chevrolet truck grilles from 1946 back to at least the early 1930’s.
