Most of the pics I have would get me kicked off of here, either because of racial slurs, or they are anti GHEY, and are of offensive nature. For instance I have one of Andrew Dice Clay pointing his finger at the camera, with the caption "go back to maggotron you muttslammer" Substitute the first letters of maggot and mutt with others, you see why my stuff is not PC for here

Ok ive got to put my 2 cents in here. Honestly someone has been hustled. No crap about it. Secondly you find me enough NOS pieces for everyone to rebulid their trucks and ill buy it for them. Not gonna happen. As for your "japcrap" theory youll learn soon enough that if its been replace on your truck then most likely it came form a place ending in -an. I.E. JapAN, TiawAN and so forth. GET OVER IT!!!!! As for your stating the ruels....I dont see moderater beside your name. So quit playin daddy to everyone. Oh and the "backwoods" comment.....Go ahead and say that to the face of a backwoods guy.

Crazy, I will disagree with your statement that somebody getting hustled. If the buyer was not educated enough to make an informed decision about the real worth of the tow hooks, and he decided to pay $315 for them, that is his buisness, and his problem. The seller had no control over what the final bid was. If the seller had stated, "Henry Ford took a dump in a box, it was gold plated, now its a tow hook for a 73-79 Ford Truck, only set left in America" then yes I would wave the deceptive wording flag.
[edit]
79 shortbox... I challenge you to go thru your personal belongings, and find things that are made in the USA. I bet a dollar that 1/2 to 3/4 of the clothes you are wearing came from a foreign country. If "jap-crap" is so bad, why is it they were the first to come out with a car that got better than 15 MPG, and also can handle 600 HP in a dinky stock 1.6L four banger block, and last 300K. Not many Ame-crap can do that reliably. Does your cell phone (made in Japan, china, taiwan) do all kinds of cool things? You can thank Japanese technology for that as well.

now now Dave - stock can be entertaining too
don't got getting kicked off by upsetting the purists - haha (joking of course guys)
Plus some of us know more than ol Henry himself? Really? Have you been spying on me working in my shop again???
Since this thread is sooooooo far off track I'll keep it going (not that others wouldn't if I don't).
The "Jap-crap" thing can be seen from all angles. IThey make some things better than us, some things worse. I will definitely stay away from Chinese and Indian (yes, from India) steel when fabricating race cars, or anything I don't want to fail for that matter. It is just pure fact that American steel is stronger. In that instance mr. shortbox is right. In the way that he is saying we are idiots and we can enjoy our "jap crap" because we won't pay $300+ for his tow hook scam is an insult. Yes I said scam... "only 1 set left in the country..." "oh wait - I need to make another $300 - I found another set somehow..."
Ad that to posts that are hardly readable and the constant name calling and "I've gotta get the last word in posts" and it just gets overly annoying. Enough to the point that I am stuck here constantly rebutting his moronic posts. Which I guess in the end makes me no better than him to those of you with enough self control to ignore this trainwreck of a post

What are you credentials? Your working history? How do you know what is "Jap Crap" and why it's best to use NOS parts?
I'm just curious. Your information becomes a lot more reliable when people can trust your background.

Yeah i mena serioulsy NOS stuff is eventually gonna run out. So then what? If i cant find a fender do i just leave my rusted/smashed NOS fender on there instead of buying a new "replacement" fender? I think not!
