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.
Be careful in purchasing used Advance Design rear bumper braces! Even the seller may not know there are two different shapes. When installed incorrectly, the rear bumper will not be in the correct position.
The more common rear braces are on the half ton pickup. They are designed to lower the long horizontal bumper so the tailgate can swing down as much as possible to be protected from backing too close to a loading dock.
The other rear brace design is found on the Suburban and Panel truck. It lowers the bumper just enough to clear the Panel truck and Suburban double side-by-side swing open doors.
At first glance, these two look almost identical, but the photo below shows the difference. Each set of rear braces are on edge, touching to make a pair for this photo.
