Yep, very similar to what I do these days. I discovered a Bumper to Bumper parts store 4 or 5 years ago a town away with 3 white hair guys behind the counter. They usually just headed to the back for my parts. Don’t need no stinking computer. Well, sadly last winter the store closed.

I still remember & miss parts stores with cigar chomping grumpy countermen that had part numbers memorized. My favorites had a machine shop in the back. Ah for the old days.
