Jim Carter - President

The owner and founder! Business began as a part time business about 1981 in his home garage selling 1950's GM bed strips and wood planks. The hobby soon became a full time operation as older truck popularity grew. He remains on the premises full time, involved in the various departments. Jim works daily with the many suppliers, develops new parts to have manufactured and keeps his eye on the many company departments

Jim has tackled most all the jobs over the years and has grown with the company!

Lynn handles interviews with potential employees, manages most all company meetings, takes outside classes, etc. She even arranges our five catalogs before printing.
