Jim,Have bought many parts to restore my 37 chevy and gmc 1/2 ton trucks. Good quality parts and service. Im part of your generation and appreciate all that you do. Im worried that the next generation will not be as passionate for these kinds of rolling art. When they figure it out you and I will be gone and the only way to see these trucks will be in museum.Keep up the great work! Will continue to support Jim Carter Truck Parts!

This company sent the wrong glove box for my truck so I gave them the exact measurements so they could get the correct one. About a month later I received the same wrong box again. So I returned both boxes and never got any reply to my emails and never was credited for the box or shipping on the second box. I spent nearly $40 for nothing and still havent been contacted by them .. its been several months now..I will never do business with this company again..

An excellent selection of Old Chevy truck parts. The guys on the parts desk are super friendly and know their stuff. Many own old trucks and are restoring them themselves. Mostly new parts, but ask them about used parts. I did yesterday and saved about $800 one one item (seat springs for 1940 one-Ton).There are occasional discounts and I even got the discount after it expired because I had trouble with their website. Prices overall are good. I think that their website is very good, though they dont. They are upgrading it right now.The shipping department is fast and efficient. Also they manufacture some of the parts that they sell.LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE. Just ask them. Highly recommended.

The service and staff are always top notch. The prices and shipping are fair and fast. The web experience of the featured truck is awesome. I hope you are here for another 40+. Check out the transformation

Initially during the restoration of my 1946 chevy pickup I shopped around extensively for the large amount of parts I needed. Soon it became clear that Jim Carter Truck Parts was the best choice and further shopping around was not worthwhile. The quality of the parts received was always high, delivery exceptional and while not always the lowest price, with the assured quality always the best choice. On top of all this the advice and technical support was invaluable.

Through a 5 plus year build I took advantage of nearly every holiday sale at Jim Carter Truck Parts. As the build developed and inevitable changes in how the build would proceed -- buy replacement 36 door hinges and then decide to suicide the doors -- just one example, I acquired a number of fairly obscure parts that I wasnt likely to use in the future. I was thrilled when they were willing to return many, restocking fee aside it was better than swap meet returns. ;-)Great people for a successful build. Bill

I have been so happy and appreciative that Jim Carter Truck Parts has helped me save my old 1948 GMC truck to get it up and running. They have been so helpful calling me directly when there were questions about my orders. What I have been most impressed with has been how quickly my orders were fulfilled. I cant say enough good things about the quality of service I have received.

These guys have always come through for me. I have been doing business with them over 30 years, buying both used and new parts. There have been times that the parts wouldnt work for me and Jim Carters made it right. I hope this business and the old truck hobby will endure another 30 years.Thank you Jim Carter!

Dealing with Jim and his staff has been a pleasure. The products he sells are of very good quality and worth every penny. Jim carries many parts for GMC as well as Chevrolet trucks and I enjoy the old pictures and ads in his catalog.

Jim, Its difficult to squeeze 40 years in this small space, harder to believe I have been a customer that long. You have built yourself a business that you have such a passion for as well as your customers. As a customer and a friend you never forgot where you came from. You business ethics are outstanding as well as your staff. Hope that the future is good to you. Thanks again, Steve Briand

This is a 1956 Chevy 3105 I have been slowly restoring over the past 30 years. Many parts from Jim Carter are on this vehicle. They have been excellent to work with over the long haul. I try them first when digging for parts.

Have always counted on Jim Carter Truck for parts and helpful advice. Many times Ive been stuck along the way and a few minutes spent with one of the folks there have sent me forward on the right path. I couldnt have built this 57 1/2 ton without their help!

Wow! 40 years. I can only account for 23 of those years. In 1997 I purchased my 1946 GMC pickup, model EC 101. It had no rear fenders and needed to have its original bed restored. The previous owner steered me to Jim Carter. The truck was soon complete, now wearing 4 of Jim’s excellent fiberglass fenders. Although I’ve had the occasion to buy and sell several good used and NOS fenders, I could never bring myself to remove Jim’s fenders.My truck became an early featured truck on Jim’s website; and I had the good fortune to meet Jim in person at several of the Carlisle (PA) events. Jim is, and has been, a tremendous asset to anyone who owns an old Chevy or GMC truck; and I hope he remains in that capacity for many years. Thanks Jim!

I began the frame off restoration of a 42 Chevy 3/4 ton in 1998. Withe the help from Jim Carter Truck Parts I was able to find a great amount of the items we need for the restoration. Jim and his crew were always willing to offer advice when asked. The restoration was completed in 2002. Thanks to your help I am able to enjoy a drive every weekend. Don

I have been doing business with Jim Carter Truck Parts for about fifteen years. I began with them shortly after bringing a 1936 Chevrolet Fire Truck home to restore. I got excellent information about parts I needed, and on two instances traveled to Missouri to pick up parts in person. While there was able to search through the basement warehouse to locate used parts not then cataloged. All in all excellent service, great prices and quality parts!

Back in the 1980s, my wifes uncle - Orison Tucker - bought a 1947 Chevy 3600. Since he lived only a few blocks away on Kingshighway, he was always stopping by to get parts. After Orison died in 1994, I inherited his 47. The first time I stopped by to get parts, I gave everyone a shock because I looked similar to Orison (and was even wearing his hat!).Now I am in the process of rebuilding the truck, and updating a few things. I have found it to be a mutt truck, but it has been a fun project! I hope to have he finished by Spring 2021, so send parts! Thanks for the help!Galen MommensSpickard Missouri

I wish I still had my first auto.. Well, Im one of the few who was able to keep it. I restored a 1957 GMC pickup (salvaged from my grandfathers farm) when I was in high school forty years ago. Now that Im semi-retired, I pulled it out of a shed and am working on restoring it again. Surprised and pleased to find Jim Carters is still around for those hard-to-find parts.

Jim, it’s been my true pleasure in dealing with you, your store as well as your crew! I have a 2 ton 1955 Chevy truck, and I can truly state that I would have given up the project long ago had I not had your guidance as well as products that the store has. Many of times I’ve been stumped by trying to figure out the install, well I’m never stymied by the good advice that I received. Thank you!

Im a long time, multi truck customer. I first bought from them as a result of them being at a swap meet in Springfield, MO in 1982 ( 1951 5 window Chevy), later in 1990 I bought from them for my 1950 3/4 ton stake bed. In 2005 they were my go to on my 1941 1/2 ton. Now theyve continued their wonderful service on my 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton. Wouldnt and havent done business with anyone else.

I doubt that this will get published, but since you asked ..I ordered a set of MEB 349 sway bar bushings from Jim Carter. The ID of the bushings received were way to small for my 52 GMC. I had other GMC owners measure their sway bars and found that mine was the same diameter. The hole through the bushing was about 0.600 while the bar diameter is 0.8125.I called Jim Carter to discuss the problem and was asked to send them one of the old, worn out, sway bar bushings. I sent it and verified it was received. I called two more times and left messages, but never heard back. This was in October of 2019.Last thing Ive bought from Jim Carter.

Jim Carter Truck Parts has been an exceptional source of parts in restoring my 1946 Chevrolet Truck. I have visited their store in Independence Missouri, returned parts to them with no trouble, received a discount when purchasing in store, discussed questions I had with them, and more. They have been more than helpful everytime I have called. They have combined items to save shipping costs. They have helped me order the right parts when I wasnt sure. And they have had everything I have needed in my restoration project. I highly recommend Jim Carter Truck Parts for anyone restoring an old Chevy Truck!

When shopping with Jim Carter I lost more than USD 2000 - first they told me that my order can not be processed - then all the items were sent to me twice and deducted from my credit card. No communication or justification - very bad customer service, I am disappointed and angry and will describe my case in the classic car scene.The company does not have the online shop under control

The website is a mess for ordering product.I havent ordered anything online in a couple years from them, but the changes theyve made are terrible. Very difficult to find things, and when I got to the last page of the ordering process and was about to press process order link I received an email confirming my order - before I pressed process order ?!?!?I ordered a single part that was difficult to find elsewhere, but ended up giving up trying to find my laundry list of things there and went to a competitor - which I hate doing, Ive done other old chevys and ordered a lot of stuff from Carters, but things have changed.
