They’ve been back for a few years now. I heard about them on one of my trips back to Syracuse to visit family. Their headquarters is downtown Syracuse. Not sure where the manufacturing is. I know some is done in Syracuse.

Heh heh, had to count the digits. For a minute I thought it was 29 million us. Guess people are trimming their expenses. Can’t even buy a good used truck for that.
