Back in 71/72 I worked a parts counter for a Chevrolet dealer and whether it was "law" or not then I can't say but it was a truism then as well.  GM "generally" kept most repair/replacement parts on the books for cars up to 10 years old.  A lot of common parts are still available from GM as many have found.  Example, you don't have to pay $6.95 each plus outrageous shipping and handling for that door striker bolt on early Chevelles, my GM dealer had two in stock for less than $4.00 for the pair, tax included.  Always check the dealers, you may be pleasantly surprised.
