Foreign made parts

[enjenjo]

I am building a rear end for a 55 Chevy, the housing, drums, and backing plates are from a 79 Ford F150 When cleaning the drums, they were marked "made in Brazil". I figured aftermarket replacements. Then I saw this on the backing plate. they are to all appearances OE parts. I had to replace one of the drums, the new one is from Argentina.
