The 'ol PartsPimp has seen a few cycles of economic highs and lows. The economy IS slowing down, although our media keeps preaching, "Its nothing major." In my opinion, the economy is slowing down is because the new heavy duty parts and new HD truck business is down. If the parts and trucks business is down, then shipping must be down. If shipping is down, then consumer spending must be down. (Still following me?) If the media says it isn't happening, I might be living on another planet?!? They might be trying to prevent mass hysteria.
What is very curious to me is the used truck parts businesses are slow too. In prior slow-downs, the used parts businesses pick up. It stands to reason that companies want to buy used heavy duty truck parts to save money. This makes me think we are in for a rough ride.
Anyways, not to be like Chicken Little. The sky isn't falling and everyone will still wake up tomorrow, need to eat and have roof over their head.
Onto the parts!
If you are looking for used heavy truck parts, I've worked with Larry Schmidt Truck Parts in Perryville, MO for a number of years. They are top shelf. Website: http://www.SchmidtTruck.com/
