Re: Will they eventually stop making parts for old squares in the future?

I've spoken to The Truck Shop about when they figure they'll start picking up in post '72 truck stuff. He said because there has been such excellent aftermarket support from day-1 it doesn't justify them getting into it. In other words,the parts are so dang available there's no need for another hat in the ring. But,I guarantee if the day comes when parts start getting scarce,the classic parts industry will hop right on it. Just like they did when the earlier stuff started drying up. By the '70s it was well known people were interested in keeping their rides alive longer "AND" the appreciation of earlier models had begun to grow bigtime.
