There is no secret about Steele Rubbers parts. They say right on their website that some parts are outsourced. They make %90 of their products right in Denver N.C., U.S.A. Their products have a lifetime guarantee. Guaranteed to fit, guaranteed not to separate at seams or other defects. Their return policy is stated on the website. I would advise everyone to at least buy the windshield rubber from them. It's one of the only seals on our trucks that have to fit exactly. Other seals can be massaged and/or do not require such a perfect fit. Steele also has a quality promise page on their website. I have never had to test their return policy because the parts fit perfectly. I have realized that after all the work you do and a nice paint job, it's very important not to have to install and re install and fight rubber and scratch paint and not be satisfied with the final fit and so on....
I have a 1960 GMC 4X4 with a rare V6 Big Block 305. It has a fairly rare, unobtainable rubber motor mount with a metal plate with studs sticking out. Steele Rubber Co. will re-vulcanize this mount for me if I send the old part to them. Can't beat that.
