Never had a problem....... Some items have to be ordered form the warehouse because not on shelf locally.

After a period of time, it is open for other manufacturers to make parts for it. Popularity of a model effects this more than anything else. Check FLAPS for parts for a 55 Chevy and see what I mean!

My pop in law needed new bushing for the rear end of his old RamCharger, '88 I think. I'm thinkin it was just leaf spring bushings, and he went through Napa and had a hell of a time getting enough to replace all of them.

His truck was parked on blocks for quit some time while waiting for the rest of the bushings.

If I remember right he called everyone in town and no one had them...

Washed the truck the other day. Weather has really been nice lately. Nothing better than driving around in a clean truck in the sunshine.

If it wasn't so cost prohibitive to ship, I have an extra grill support bracket and grill.
