Frame comes from A. Engine from B. Transmission from C. Plumbing from D.
Steel from China. Everything else from somewhere else. The name on the coach
is who put it all together, not who designed and built it.
There have been some attempts by some manufacturers but the didn't stick
with it long enough to make it work.
GMCs will still be going 15 years from now. At least, ours will.
