Where To Buy Early GM Truck Parts
If you have an old GM truck from 1934 to 1972 you’ll want to check out Jim Carter Truck Parts. The Independence, Mo., businessman has been restoring and dealing with antique vehicle restoration parts for more than 30 years. With a website that boasts more than 10,000 parts, he has customers all over the world.
  “Europeans love American vehicles because they are so big,” Carter says, noting restoration is also very popular in Canada.
  Jim Carter Truck Parts sells hard to find parts such as those for the Cameo truck, built in 1955-58 as a fancy truck for city driving and not for work.
  It’s one of Carter’s favorite models, and he makes a couple dozen parts for it. They also, supply new parts made by other manufacturers and have used parts, acquired by decades of trades and purchases that began after Carter traded for a 1950 Chevrolet 1/2-ton truck. While restoring it, he purchased extra parts and discovered a market for other hobbyists interested in restoration.
  “We sell a lot of common things customers always need like hubcaps, floor mats and wood for the beds,” Carter says. “Parts for 1947 to 1953 trucks are the most requested.”
  Besides parts, his business website has videos, articles, an “Ask Jim” page and featured truck articles and photos.
  Carter is licensed by GM, and parts are approved for quality, authenticity and carry the GM seal.
