Bad news on steel & chrome parts.

[GMCPaul]

We have received notification from all but one supplier of price increases on chrome & steel parts, as a example Goodmark told us by beginning of June they will be sending us a new price catalog and in it every part will see at least a $1.00 increase in price on small parts and parts such as cowl hoods will increase another $50.00 per hood. We are hearing this from every major supplier of steel and chrome parts except for one. The reason for the price increase they state is steel prices have climbed 35-90%, the price of the materials to chrome parts has increased nearly 10 times and shipping rates are on the increase to get the parts to us do to increased fuel costs. So I wanted to let you all know around the beginning of June truck parts will be increasing in cost on most all steel or chrome related parts. So if you plan on ordering from a truck parts retailer any time in the near future don't hesitate to long or your budget might be wrecked with price increases.
Sorry for the bad news but I figured you would all like to know in advance of it happening to hopefully save some money by buying before we all get hit with these price increases.
