Name change for Chevy Duty in April - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In case everyone gets confused in the future. Chevy Duty is going to change their name to "five Star Parts". It appears that Chevrolet was a bit POd at the use of their name in the company's name. Chevy Duty had an agreement from Chevy of many years ago to allow this, but the new leaders of the "General" wanted to fight them. This required a trip to Detroit every week, so Chevy Duty owners elected to change their name, which is cheaper than fighting the "Big Guys".

Yeah, the last I'd want as a CEO is a quality business giving my company free pub with a great product.

No wonder GM has been going down the crapper.

They're just PO'd from the Beretta thing.

So what does a Beretta have to do with Chevy Duty "Truck Parts"?

Maybe because Beretta is a gun?
