The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk American Classic Truck Parts ????

Does anyone know what is up with American Classic Truck Parts. Their web site seems to be up but I can never reach them by phone. Do they really exist?

Not anymore, It seems. We are still trying to confirm if theyve been bought by Classic Parts of Kansas City.

I recently bought a part from American Classic Truck Parts and when it arrived the box and packing slip both indicated the order was fulfilled by Classic Parts. So the answer would seem to be they have.

KC website has been changed to have same search format and same part numbers as Riverside. KC now has same return policy as Riverside. I think Riverside, MO, Classic Parts of America has taken over KC, MO, (was Texas) American Classic Truck Parts.

Tomctomc's agreement with John is confusing. (but only to me). These two companies both have "Classic Parts" in their name and sometimes It's hard to describe one over the other.
One has "America" in the name and the other has "American". They could not have confused us more but it happened way back when "Chevy Duty" was deemed a conflict with GM or whatever.

Bartamos' comment made me wonder. I went back to my Visa statement and this is what it says:

Merchant: CLASSIC PARTS OF AMERICA
State: Missouri 64150

tel: 800-7411678, a reverse lookup comes back as CLASSIC PARTS OF AMERICA

American Classic Truck Parts is in Texas, and their toll free number is 800-462-2298

Well, it ain't in Texas no more!

http://www.americanclassic.com/contactus.asp This is the "New" site look. Both in MO.
Texas site links to here when you click on "website".

Riverside, MO is 6.4 miles from KC, MO.

Guess who else is in KC, MO
FYI: I just noticed that Jim Carter has no physical address anywhere on his website? Used to have it.

It looks like The Texas Co. was taken over by the Riverside Co. and moved to KC.

Thanks for all the reply's. It seems KC is becoming the hub of Chevy truck parts. Good for me I guess since I live in a suburb of KC. Their phone number (not the 800) has a 940 area code, which is Texas. But their mailing address is KCMO. I ordered a few parts on line, so we'll see how that goes and where it comes from. I recall forum members got a 10% discount but could not see how to enter that on the order, which is why I was trying to call them. Hopefully we can solve the mystery.

If you use the Riverside Co., which is now the same company as the one you ordered from, you would see a "promo code" line to fill in.

And Jim Carter will be at the show in person. You can meet him and everything ... Tell him you're a friend of mine.

Well folks, I did a Google Map search and found that the address for American Classic Truck Parts- 3301 NW Tullison Drive, Kansas City, Mo 64150 is the street that runs on the north side of Classic Parts of America's building whose address is 1 Chevy Duty Drive, Riverside , Mo. 64150 . Chevy Duty Drive is the street that runs along the west side of Classic Parts of America's building. Therefore I must conclude that they are now one in the same. I thought something was up when I visited both sites and found the same part numbers and prices. Although I've purchased from both in the past, I found American's website layout more user friendly as the photos of the parts were very good and detailed. Oh well, another one bites the dust, or progress I suppose but it doesn't help us as far as competition goes. Hopefully Classic Parts will maintain the fair prices and good service that I've previously enjoyed from them.

My favorite of the two is the company now in place. Service and price wise. I believe the other company had a minimum order.

I've always had good service from Classic Parts of America and I've bought 6-7 thousand dollars worth of stuff from them.

At the risk of beating a dead horse I have a little more info. When I ordered from the parts from American Classic Truck Parts I got an email acknowledgement from them. I then got an order acknowledgment from Classic Parts of American. The parts showed up 3 days later, not bad. They came in a package from Classic Parts of America, 1 Chevy Duty Dr, Riverside, Mo., which is basically in KCMO. I called the number on the packing slip and confirmed they did buy American Classic Truck Parts. They will give a 5% discount to Forum members.

Thanks for the replys, hope to meet some of you in September.
