Don't count on that. You got a link that shows that law? Many times the mfr.'s can start dropping parts when demand falls below a predetermined level.

Also, according to the Hollander "bible", many VX bolt-on parts are NOT interchangeable with other Isuzus. Just like the body panels, glass, interior, etc., ad nauseum.
