George.. one of the nice things about Stovebolt is that we cater to Old Chevy. Im not sure if China was even discovered when our precious trucks came out. So, it TOTALLY goes without saying that we prefer old chevy trucks and the parts that make them up. We (I can really only speak for myself) don't give a rats [censored] about politics, other countries, what everyone else is doing unless it pertains to American made Chevy old trucks. So, respectfully, all of that crap is unnecessary because you are speaking to the choir.
Trust me, there is nothing in the ENTIRE exhaust system that a muffler shop cant make for you the same as they did 60 years ago. Same muffler shops, same American pipe, different generation. The dealers themselves didn't purchase exhaust systems from Chevy. If they needed replacement front pipes, whatever, they purchased them locally. Post some pics as you progress.
