...even if a truck production run was in the tens of thousands you would think a truck manufacturer could spec out some decent 8 or 10mm cro-moly axles for not all that much more money. $5 per?

Dude, if that's all you were after, you should have asked. There are plenty of people on the 'Fish that have a very good idea of volume, cost and effect with axles, and many more that can explain how your "$5.00 upgrade" might translate to retail. I don't know how any statistic about t-shirts or how deeply Concrete Wave is in Nike's pocket (oops, did I let that slip?) would help you address a question related to trucks.
You were right to be wary of Momona Boe. I heard he banned MalakaiKingston.

I did and It was discussed in another thread. I saw Geezer-X's cost for 500 axles. For 50,000 the unit cost would be lower. For 500,000 per year it would be even less. No demand though. Unfortunately the consumers are ignorant kick-flippers and the "industry" is a bunch of T-shirt pimps.
This can't be repeated often enough. And as far as what I "should" ask: I can guarantee you it will be whatever the f**k I want to ask. Cheers.

Re: Industry stats - are there any?
