Part I.D

rbkt65 said

you are correct gunbunny. i use mpg for the parts diagrams and to get the part number. not all dealers are on the parts locator though. my buddies dealership is not as it costs to be on the locator. we are inventorying all his parts and getting rid of a lot of nos stuff. example he had a brand new rear bumper for a 69 rr and it was not on anyone's inventory.

Shouldn't cost anything to be on the locator. Thats part of the tech fee that the dealers pay to Chrysler each month. Now, the dealers DMS, may not be configured properly to, but even then that's unlikely due to ARO polling the dealerships inventory. More likely that locator was never turned on at the dealership level. There was a time when there was a charge, but that went away several years ago. He should talk to his Mopar D/M if he's unsure. But the locator is the best way to shed yourself of obsolescence. There's no way I'd have a NOS bumper for a B body and not know it. (At least when I was still in the business)
