Dennis Carpenter manufactures over 12,000 different restoration parts and some of these parts are low volume sellers due to the limited amount of old trucks and cars.  We understand that our customers still need these items, so they are worked into production when possible.  Due to tooling setup cost and minimum material purchase requirments, we usually produce and store a 10 year supply of these low volume sellers.

Additionally, an item being "Out of Stock" is sometimes due to the production tooling needing repairs and / or maintenance.  For example, the Ford Tooling that we have was used to supply Ford's assembly line 40-70 years ago.  Regular maintenance assures a higher quality product.

In both cases, we are working on noting these items on our website and on your invoice with the following labels:
"Due to the slower sales of this item, expect delays in production"
"Tooling under maintenance"

There could be several reasons for this. Make sure you entered the correct selections in the Global filter or that it is blank.  

The search will return results in the following order:  1) The combination of all words searched for that are in a product's name.  2) Next, it will list all search results containing at least one of the words you have searched for.  3) If you search via part number, the results will return the closest exact match it can find followed by partial matches.

If you still cannot find the part you are interested in, please call our helpline at 704-786-8139 or email us at info@dennis-carpenter.com
