Just an observation...
I got chewed out for being a snob when I posted the correct nomenclature and part number for a part someone was trying to find. I was told that it was ridiculous to own a parts list when the individual only wanted the part to try out an idea on a project that had nothing to do with a Power Wagon.
There are a lot of people who don’t know the correct information about a part they want. Often they want something that goes “who-knows-where” because their truck has no mounting bracket. Without a manual, they are asking the parts vendor for that “thing-a-ma-jig” that goes between the “gizmo” and the “whatcha-ma-callit”. I am tempted to go on e-bay and sell those folks a “framzit” that fits anywhere on any vehicle ever built any year in any country and is worth the price because it is made from “unOBTANIUM”.
The only fault I have ever found with any vendor was one who gave me the benefit of the doubt and tried to get me something when I had no idea what I wanted.
