Default Dodge Buy from GM? Or Same Supplier?

Hello,

We were working on a friends truck.. (Rear Brakes). We noticed that some of the brake parts looked the same as some older GM...

Sure enough, We looked up the parts at RockAuto where it lists what vehicles are compatible with parts and much of the rear brake parts on the dodge also fit many GM Cars of earlier models.

I think every car company "borrows" from other companies from time to time.

When confronted about it, I'm sure they say it's a coincidence. But I imagine it would be up to GM to prove Chrysler stole their idea. And is it really worth it? But I could be wrong.
