Found this in an article when searching for parts for a older Bushtec. Did not know the origin of the name.

Bushtec is a name you're probably familiar with. It was the first example of a “big wheel” style of motorcycle trailer, invented in 1974 by Bill Bushling for a friend who was unable to find a commercial model to his liking. Word of mouth kept Bill busy producing trailers at his little workshop in California until 1989, when the company changed hands and moved to Tennessee.

Yes, the factory was just north of Sacramento a bit.

Actually, Bill sold the company to one of his employees and it remained there in Nor Cal for a period of time before it was sold and moved back east.
