About the Business

US Truck Parts and Sales prides itself on being a family owned and operated company based in Dallas, Texas. It all began in 1949 when EV “Sonny” Thompson got into the used truck parts business in Corpus Christi, Texas with AA “Slats” Allen, John Plant, and Raymond Jowers. After living in Corpus Christi for a while he moved to El Paso, then to San Antonio, and finally decided to settle down in Dallas in 1961. That same year he bought Central Truck Parts from Shelton Mitchell and began building the company from the ground up. In 1965 he decided that he wanted to get out of the parts business and solely buy and sell trucks.
