funny which years went longer and sold better too? almost like its to much effort to come up with suspension mods or parts that are simple yet sought after

ive been looking into making 3 pod gauge pillars for a while by fiberglasing but if we can get a mass produced set and a good market by advertizing they should stick around for a while

The funny thing about square bodied trucks is that not nearly as many people are restoring them or building them right now compared to the pre 72 trucks. So suppliers are hesitant to spend time r&d'ing products if they are not sure of a selling product. Yes it doesn't make sense when we see the desire for the part. But I know it will take a good chunk of money to get this deal done too. Hence why I was working with another guy to get them done. He had a connection, that fell through unfortunately. I will probably build my own for my trucks for now. I doubt it'll be something i'll reproduce and sell because it is very time consuming and I barely have time to work on my turds.
