longest running part

[raustinss]

so i was trying to think what is the longest running part that was used on a car ,more specific GM cars. No im not talking about something stupid like a bolt or clip or ? . My pick would be the door handles used on 70 Camaros thru to 93 S-10's . i know it was also used on A,B and,G body cars . Does any one else have a part ?

Ford 5x7 speakers pretty much the same since the mid 80's to now. I was shocked when I checked out my 2012 f150 and they were the same paper/plastic speakers.

In the 80s guys were going to Ford, buying the fenders and taking them to the swap meet and selling them as New Old Stock 53-56 F100 fenders and tripling their money. That's what I was told anyways, I was a toddler then.

got to be a SBC part that comes close top winning this prize. Like a main cap or something.
