Re: Temporary Race Truck!
Tommy's Pickup Parts is a local version of LMC, only better. They're located in Shelby, NC and it's run by Tommy & Gayle Mode. They've been in the GM Truck Parts business for years. If you've been to any of the GoodGuys, Autofair, Run to the Sun, GM Super Nationals, Shades of the Part, type shows, you've probably seen their parts trailer.
The great thing about Tommy and his staff is that they really know these parts. He can tell you tips and tricks about installing parts, and he can tell you which aftermarket parts are good and what to avoid. If you have problems with something, they answer the phone and know how to help. He also keeps a decent amount of used parts in stock as well. They're very old school. If you look at their website, it leaves much to be desired, and they're not the best at electronic communication. Tommy's son, Jason, ownes New Creations, which is a custom car shop that offers restoration, customization, mechanical, electrical, interior and other automotive type services. Tommy's and New Creations host an open house each year. This year it's on June 27th. It starts at Tommy's where he'll offer big discounts on all in stock parts, and his inventory is pretty impressive. Then we'll cruise down the road to the New Creations shop where Jason and his staff will show off some of their recent work. They'll also provide lunch for a small fee. It was a great time last year. Hopefully you guys can join us. The Upstate SC GM Truck Club will me in Chesnee in the morning and then cruise up to Tommy's as a group. Here's their website, and some pictures from last year. Last picture is Tommy in his shop truck. http://tommyspickupparts.com/ http://www.newcreations517.com/
