wonder what y'all would be working with if nobody sold the "low quality" parts - maybe paying someone $80 an hour to fix things, or fabricating your own? then you'd know they're "made in the USA"

what you need to keep in mind is that most all of the repro pieces are patterned from "good" originals, and we all know that parts from a given year of a series aren't necessarily exactly the same as all other years, especially the AD's that cover 7 or 8 years .... I've found the TF parts quite good, never any more tweaking required than you'd expect putting parts from one truck on another
