I know this thread has become a forum for bashing a particular reproduction parts, but if it weren't for people making the parts in the first place, some of us would not have the ability to get the part. Period.
I have repro hub cabs from Jim Carter that date back to 93 and I have no complaints. I've been looking for an original hood ornament and good luck on some of those!
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your part. I know that happens. The collective knowledge about these older trucks is diminishing and this page is one of the few places where all the experts live.
