Any differences in side trim vendors?

To me it is worth the extra purely out of principle, when quality is made right here by fellow working Americans just like us.

I'm just trying to inform these "fellow working Americans like us" of what my experience with this trim is. The fact is I spent over 450. LESS than what Mar-k charges...so yeah I like the idea of helping a forum brother out that way. Please keep your guilt trip to yourself..... Like everything you own is American made, give me a break man. My intention was only to inform, not to sell. Are you the Mar-k Sales Manager? This will really chap your hide, I've been in business 25 years and ALL of my employees are hispanic Americans. Oh, and last time I checked L.M.C. was an American company too, but they are not on your who to support list?
I agree on saving american jobs and dont mind paying some more if its a better product, just like the rest of us. In my first response in this thread I mentioned that I spoke with the bossman, and he told me of some things that I wanted to verify before I said anything that I thought might not be true. What Ken from The Truck Shop told me was that HE was the the manufacturer and supplied many of the very dealers that were at the Pate swap meet, many of which I am a frequent customer of. THEN he said that he sells his trim to MAR-K.....Now, I generally am a pretty good judge of character, and I ordered his complete trim set. If I take a hickey and the stuff doesn't fit right, I will speak the truth about it so everyone on this excellent forum will know the "differences in side trim vendors" like the OP was questioning. Moderators, I really did try hard to keep it tame here.

Yeah Davischevy you were right in my neck of the woods, I missed the Decatur swap meet this year, how was it?
