Delco for the most part is just a name on a box. And, unfortunately, usually just a "white box" part with a label.If I want as close to OE as possible for these rigs, I try to source Delphi parts. Delphi actually made a lot of the parts for GM originally. I still trust most GM genuine branded stuff, but not Delco, and definitely not "AC Delco Silver" ... That stuff is garbage.I have mismatched upper and lower ball joints in my GMT800 as RA accidentally sent me 3 uppers and 1 lower. I used the Dorman RD lowers and am a fan. They are metal-on-metal so you have to keep up on greasing them. The Dorman RD boots are still in good shape, while the mevotech supreme upper boots are split and leaking grease after 4 years or so. I'll probably go full RD next time.I just put Moog parts in my GMT400 and those were all (surprisingly) made in USA! Moog parts for the 800 are solid too, I had them on mine for rebuild #1. One thing about owning an IFS chevy, you'll learn how to change parts efficiently <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
