Oldsfan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I forgot to check the '61/'62 number, but I tried the '66/'67 number and didn't get anything. Discontinued 12/83, so it should be in my 4/83 printed book, but it's not. Maybe not Oldsmobile? Are you sure it's trunk? Group numbers would help.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsfan Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Rats! I still keep forgetin' to look at that '61/'62 number.Got pics?You know what? If you're taking a number off of the part, without a box, that is most likely a casting number. Casting numbers need to be converted into part numbers, but I can't convert anything that old.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageAuto Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 you are absolutely correct!!! they are casting #'s...I found all the master parts books for Olds...'49-76 in my mother-n-laws basement yesterday...Is there a certain section to look in to do the conversion???I haven't had a chanch to look through them yet.thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 There's no conversions in the old books, as far as I know. Today, we call casting numbers into GM and their computer gives us part numbers. But we can't do old numbers like that.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 VintageAuto,You may want to see if the AACA Library & Research Center retains info. May be worth a shot. Not hard to do. Click on Library on the home page, or, phone Kim Miller at 717-534-2082.Regards,PJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailfin58 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Actually you would probably find the PARTS BOOKS are worth much more than the parts !Keep the oldest and the newest ones and agood range in between... as GM MASTER Parts books usually cover about ten - fifteen years back/ bookIts not necessary to have EVERY yearto look up partsYou Can sell the extras on E-bayInccidently when BUYING a Parts book... try to find one a year or two NEWERthan your car as this will show if any slightly later model parts interchangefor your project car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
