Re: [Chevelle-List] Older parts for GM cars

[Mach4]

Another example is the nice bumper bolts. Our local small-town Chev garage can get plenty, and quite reasonable. We are fortunate in having a very knowledgable Chevelle owner working in the parts dept, and he will really go to work trying to find the unique stuff for our older cars. I always check with him before going on extensive/expensive searches in the aftermarket.   Jim        2 - '66 SS's        ACES #2020        central Wisconsin ----- Original Message ----- From: 396guy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 8:07 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Older parts for GM cars 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.
