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.
The 1949 through 1959 gas tank is behind the seat.
SAFETY FIRST: GM had the right idea! This tank is protected by the original heavy gauge double layer metal cab. Compare this with some people's idea of hanging their gas tank behind the rear axle with very little protection from a rear end hit.
REMEMBER: The 1972 Ford Pinto that was rear ended in the mid 1970's, burst into flames, and the three Pinto passengers were killed? Yes, it came with an unprotected factory installed rear mounted gas tank! Check this on Google!
IMPORTANT: If you place the tank behind the rear axle, you also have no place for a spare tire! What Now?
