September 2024 – [Johnson City, TN] – Parts Pro, a leading marketing program dedicated to serving automotive retailers, is proud to announce a heartwarming collaboration with LEED Brakes to provide a significant performance upgrade to a retired U.S. Navy veteran’s classic Chevy C-10 truck. This partnership embodies our commitment to giving back to those who have served our country while showcasing top-tier aftermarket products that enhance the vehicle’s performance and aesthetics.

In this special project, LEED Brakes supplied a rear disc brake conversion kit, a crucial upgrade for improving the braking power and reliability of the Chevy C-10. Known for their high-performance brake systems, LEED Brakes’ products are engineered to deliver precision and safety, offering an exceptional driving experience for both daily drivers and classic car enthusiasts. This upgrade transformed the veteran’s truck into a more responsive and safer vehicle, ensuring that his beloved C-10 performs better on the road than ever before.

“When The AAM Group offered to partner with LEED Brakes for this feature project to showcase our products, we were thrilled. It is an honor for us to give back and support someone who has supported all of us at the highest level,” said George Eckford, Wholesale Sales Manager at LEED Brakes.

Complementing the brake upgrade, Cragar Wheels supplied a set of their iconic SS mag wheels. Known for their timeless design and exceptional durability, Cragar’s wheels added a bold visual statement to the veteran’s truck, bringing a perfect balance of performance and style. These wheels, synonymous with muscle cars and classic trucks, were the perfect finishing touch to enhance the Chevy C-10’s aesthetic appeal.

The Chevy C-10, a symbol of rugged American craftsmanship, holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. This collaboration between Parts Pro, LEED Brakes, and Cragar Wheels was not just about upgrading the vehicle—it was about honoring a dedicated veteran who served our nation. By providing these high-quality parts, we ensured that this classic truck remains a source of pride and joy for its owner for many years to come.

“At Parts Pro, we are always looking for opportunities to give back to the community and show our appreciation for those who have served,” said Tim Odom, President of The AAM Group. “Partnering with LEED Brakes and Cragar Wheels on this project allowed us to help a Navy veteran upgrade his truck with some of the best products in the industry, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the result.”

This project reflects Parts Pro’s dedication to fostering strong partnerships with our supplier partners to deliver outstanding products and services to jobbers and enthusiasts alike.
