Jim, My brother in-law owned a private parts store for 25 years, he could have sold a part for about three different prices. If you were a friend or a frequent customer, you would get a better price. then if you were a stranger. In my experience here in New Jersey, It seems the chain stores hire people that are cheep and don't know a chevy to a ford. If it's not in the computer it doesn't excise. Where my b in law had parts books that went back to the sixtys.
