Truck Stop, Concord NC....great people to deal with. Parts are made in US mostly foreign. Total cost is $198.50 less than MAR-K. They say they cant identify where the parts were made to allow you to select only US made product
Mar-k...nice folks, all made here in the Great USA! Cost is 198.50 more than Truck Stop, Jim Carter, Classic, etc. plus shipping of 238.00.
Bottom line for $437.00 I get American made to the door for $437.00.
It has been a few years, but I recall china sheet metal as a pain at times to bolt on. Alignment issues with holes that are so far off you cant use em and end up with an empty hole to weld or simply stare at. Poor gauge metal, body lines that were off.
So, it looks like Mar-K for me. I am gonna try and negotiate a shipping discount
. Hope this helps anybody else looking at the same issue I am.
Alvin, man I do appreciate your advice and friendship. Your a true blessing and wealth of knowledge when it comes to these old trucks!
