Belltech, Western, and Early Classic are made in USA. Don't know about the others.

Re: Bell Tech or Mcgaughys or Western Chassis
Do any of these tuck the wheels in more than the others?

Re: Bell Tech or Mcgaughys or Western Chassis
I have all Western Chassis parts on my 76 & have been very pleased with them.
In fact, after using WC parts on the 76 I decided to use their parts on my 98 and was pleased again. I will say I've used BellTech parts a lot too with no issues but I don't have any experience with McG's parts. |

Re: Bell Tech or Mcgaughys or Western Chassis
McGaughys are made in the Usa, California that is. Used several of their kits on all kinds of different vehicles and have never had a problem. Easy to deal with on the phone too. Havent used Western since the late 90s but had problem fitting their c-notch. Hope this helps out a little.

Re: Bell Tech or Mcgaughys or Western Chassis
Define "Made in USA". Is buying castings from China then final machining in the USA qualify?
