It is an American truck, so it does help the American economy by buying it, which is the main thing.  I wouldn't worry too much about the wheels bud, hopefully they won't fall apart. _____________________________ 1994 K2500 454 4L80E 14bolt 10.5" w/ 4.10's (in reply to Chas1955) Post #: 2

I was just shocked when I saw it on a factory Chevy wheel. Especialy since I had just put alum. wheels on my car trailer made in China!  I bleed Chevy & I expect you do to so as an old saying for an old man Keep on trucking Charlie (in reply to jmack91z28) Post #: 3

Just a lot of people out there now who are convinced that chevy and ford aren't american any more and that companys like toyota are more american. I've always bought chevy, and always will.  It's good to see dedicated chevy boys out there like you. It's just a shame though, as each generation dies off,  less and less people buy american... _____________________________ 1994 K2500 454 4L80E 14bolt 10.5" w/ 4.10's (in reply to Chas1955) Post #: 4

I've seen alot of Cobalts, Silverados, Tahoes, & Vetts. Little else the new Camero will help if it's not priced to high! Charlie (in reply to jmack91z28) Post #: 5

Oh well, like I always say, "Drive a hybrid, so that I can have your gas for my truck" _____________________________ 1994 K2500 454 4L80E 14bolt 10.5" w/ 4.10's (in reply to Chas1955) Post #: 6
