I just like to be able to look up parts and see if they're available for certain applications. I also have the 72 GM parts book for the same thing. It's nice to be able to go into the dealers parts guy and just give hime a part number. They seem to appreceiate it. Plus I can go to gmpartsdirect.com and check availability of a lot of stuff before I even go to the dealer. The only bad thing is that many part #'s have now been superceded by new part numbers.

Well, here's the deal:

 

My partner, Kevin, at fendersandparts.com got the book from his AC/Delco dealer for me. His family has been in the parts business for decades, and we pretty much have access to whatever anybody else can get. Kevin simply never got into this end of the business (restoration parts) even though he could have at any time. So, together we make a pretty good team.

 

Fries Auto Parts (established 1929) - for "hard parts": starters, alternators, whatever

Fendersandparts.com - for fender bender sheet metal & trim pieces 1950s to present

Old Car Network - for classic car restoration parts

 

Anyway, I sent the same post to the Olds list, and a NOS dealer who I know and love (Everett Horton) replied that anybody could buy the book from the 888 number. But do keep in mind that if you get it, not everybody in that book will sell to the public, it doesn't guarantee you the best price even if they do, and just because a part is not in the book, doesn't mean that there isn't a high-quality reproduction piece available.

Whoops I was wrong! John is this the same GM parts book that is available from any GM parts counter?
