I bought one from them for my 68 C20, mounts to the bell housing. It's made in China, I think. But very heavy duty. I was impressed with it. I think they stated this either on there web site or in a paper that came with it. Something about stricter quality control and I think it may be US parts but assembled in China.
All I know is that they don't last on the super duty trucks very long. Most just rebuild. I got one from auto zone several years back when My van wasn't starting very good, and it is still running strong. I know they got cheap now so don't know how good they would be. 86 van, 6.9l.
ii had one in the 88, got around 60,000 miles out of it compared to the 200,000 out of the ford starters.
the one in it now is a ford starter that was rebuilt by a local shop for $92.
