Re: name your American made parts
Only buying American made anything is xenophobic and probably racist.
JUST KIDDING! (Did you think I was a Leftist?) Most of my truck is American made, as it is mostly factory. I can't speak for the tires as my dad bought those in 2004 but the spare is original to the truck. The parts I have put on: all NOS or OEM body panels...what might be foreign made? Possibly (as I do not know): rear brake drum rebuild parts carb rebuild kit fuel filter some screws, bolts, and washers, the cab to frame bushing kit? Likely the new windshield wiper pump fuel lines floor mat taillights pedal pads. rubber hoses hose clamps I know my radiator is foreign made, assuming I use the aluminum one.

Re: name your American made parts
Just got a custom cloth insert seat cover for my 72 (with NOS insert material) from C.A.R.S. in Michigan....very nice build quality and scroll definition, made to order, don't have it on yet to discuss fitment.
As a side note: Tim from Truckseats chased this down for me and was super helpful in finding me the exact seat cover I needed and hooking me up with C.A.R.S. He could have purchased the cover himself, marked it up when selling it to me, however as a retailer with great ethics, this type of business practice wasn't for him.....Kudos to Tim, and thank you!! |

Re: name your American made parts
I bought a set of anti-sway bar bushings the other day at Napa and was pleasantly surprised to see Made In America on the box. I hope it didn't mean that just the box was made in America
There's quite a bit of domestic stuff out there if you look for it. I always look first, but sometimes it's just not out there.

Just curious...could you stay in business selling only Made in America parts? It sure would separate you from the crowd! |
