We have not any Taiwan bearings on our TruckI had to put Taiwan made rod bearings in my engine because so much is backordered. I was able to get OEM piston rings from eBay. I reused the old pistons.
.Finished today mounting the airhorns and markerlights on the Lightbar
New working headlight also arrived and installed
It was a challenge to find fitting one in old style
The old ones are from Bosch but not more available new. I can purchase used one in the same condition like ours for a price which are not worth it

this are very old horns - bought them in 1992 from a Truck supplier for another project.
PHOENIX-GER ,
Could you share a little more information on the air horns?
They sure look pretty impressive.
Guessing a nice deep "fog horn" sound?

They was not used for that and so stayed in store until we got the Chevy in 1996
Funnel length is 73 cm = 28,74 inch
Today you find similar by Hadley
Unfortunately i have no audio of that horns
Here is the audio of Hadley - nearly similar to our Audio Hadley
I think it is not so deep like fog horn - but loud and impressive enough
We have no allow to use airhorns in cities in Germany... thats why we have a switch for the horn
