Just like I did. What I have learned is there isn't a market to support the tooling cost and I have spoken to Lamont many times. He has great or lets say the best tailgates in the market maybe the only tailgates that are accurate. But I doubt he can stamp any part you want thats a huge statement. I stamped or lets say I had the 39-47 pockets stamped. What that means is I put all the funds up to have them produced and gave Bruce Horkey exclusive rights. While I finally did re coup my tooling cost I've found there is no market for these parts. They just didn't sell enough trucks. That goes for the power wagon also. So classic won't just stamp any part you need. How in the hell can they do that and recover the tooling cost.
