It is about 2" thick and was a good deal, but it is missing pages 1-32 which are apparently some key fact pages on various models. Do any of you have this particular catalog and if so, please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] I'm wanting to track down some information. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | With that spelling of the word catalog might the book be a Canadian version? Just wondering.

I bought a Master Parts catalogue from a well known supplier and it was advertised as for cars and trucks. When I received it, it was mainly cars with a token amount of truck data. Does anyone know if the catalogue Rick has is available in a reprint version? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 | Because the catalog covers both Chevrolet and GMC it's Canadian. The spelling of catalogue also indicates it's Canadian. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Being a Canadian I consulted with my neighboUrs and after thoroUghly discussing it we cannot harboUr a reason to think it is not a Canadian catalogue, eh! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | Just give Rick his missing pages and you can call it what ever you want glad to see you check it,, been a while....regards..Fred

However, the front cover and first 32 pages are missing. But what a wealth of information it contans! I know our friends up north spell lots of things wrong, but the word catalogue is the only difference I've seen going through the manual. It has quite a number of broken down photos and corresponding part numbers. I do know the Harrison number for the radiator for my truck matches what you would look for in the states. Makes me wonder how different Canadian versions were from US of A back in the 40's to 50's. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | I KNOW I'LL GET SHOT WITH THIS BUT.....

If it smells like Labatt's, Molson or Moosehead it's Canadian or has been used by a Canadian. If it smells like Miller or Bud, it's US. If it smells like a dirty, moldy old parts book, then drink a couple of each of the above and it won't matter to you where it came from. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 | That is actually very funny Barry.

Talk about culture shock! We took a tour so we had english speaking guides all the time. A great experience. A Russian guy snapped this picture.
