I agree you can use the old stuff. Its just nice to have nice stuff that looks good and you know all the tensions are good.

I deliver parts for Advance Auto here in my town. I looked in the computer and it did not go back that far. I then looked at what it did have and it had a listing for a 55 or 56.... but that was one year ago. Heck, I also ordered my brake shoes through them. They were not in stock but I got them PDQ and had them the next day. Sounds like someone is falling down on the job.
Another thing I did/do is was to go on to the web site. It has some listings that you can get... .you just have to get the part number and take it to them and ask them to order it!! I have done this recently.
Hope this helps. It sounds like you just need a GOOD parts man!!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
