I would be interested in the front and rear coil springs,,The previous owner slammed my 98 and i would like to lift it back up...

 

Hey John, yeah thats the piece I took a pic of it on my passenger side on my car. I tried seeing how one takes that rubber piece out. On my driver side it seems to slide right out if your careful enough but my right side seemed like it was in there. But it is cold out too, so theres not much flex there. Heres a pic of it:



Its the rubber piece that sits in that metal piece. Although the back door window in that 98 is shaped differently the front windows are not shaped differently so this should work because it has to sit against it the same way. That rubber piece kind of flaps over. My drivers side doesnt and its kind a pain. Also glad you might have a air cleaner, all the ones I have tryed to get are for either chevy or pontiac and the breather cap is on the driver side for those. The oldsmobile one is on the passenger side with the heat tube, and where I live I just cant seem to find an Olds one lol, Thanks, Gustav

 

Skinny, I pulled the axles. Here's a couple pictures of them. The wheel bearings look different, but they both feel smooth and I believe they're good.

Shawn, I pulled the rear springs and here's a picture

Gustav, I worked on the car today but forgot to look at the window strips. So you just need the rubber piece, not the chrome? Your the third person in the last few days who asked about an air cleaner, but I'll see what I can find.

Here's a couple more items I pulled in case someone needs them. I also got the hood springs and bumpers (Part of the rear bumper is spoken for). If there's anything else you need speak up quickly! It will probably go away in the coming week. tribunicus let me know what you think about the glass.

yes i just need the rubber piece, not the chrome. thanks John

 

I don't think he'll mind the bearing issue. He's probably going to break them anyway.

 

So... is that what the axles are for Jeremy? Oh Man, I just recognized that as YOUR car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Gustav, I pulled both back windows from the car. I'll get a closer look at the seals and post some pictures for you.
John

Gustav, here's a couple photos of the window trim. The rubber looks good, It wouldn't easily come off the chrome trim but I was able to remove it from the glass. If you would send me your address in an email or PM I'll provide you with a price including shipping. John

SKINNY,IL.....

 

Hey John,,waitin on those pics of the bumper and cost of shipping to 47374,,send pics to allns47@yahoo.com

 

Hello Shawn
I'll try to get pictures of the bumper in the next couple days. Are you wanting that before the other parts? John

 

John,

Boy, you are one busy guy. That's the downside of doing a good job. Also the upside!! Any luck on the a/c duct assembly? I guess 68 or 69 would work.

Charlie

 

Hi Charlie
I haven't come up with them yet, but still think there's a good chance I have them. I'll try to dig around some more in the next couple days. John

 

John,,I cant even remember what else i have u holding for me..Could u give me a least,,I appreciate u holding them for me..I am back to work now and have some extra cash,,,So if u could send me a list,,,I know u have the a/c componets for me,,,What else? I have had so much on my mind about losing my job I am trying to get it back together again no that I am employed again,,,lol

 

John,

Just went through some pieces I got with the car and found the main manifold assembly. A small piece is broken off, but I can fix it. Didn't recognize it with the section missing(not to mention I was looking at it upside down). So, don't worry about the order. I will contact you when I need other stuff, which is inevidible.

Thanks again for your efforts and great support.

Charlie

 

Cool! I'm glad you found the part. Thanks for letting me know. I hope to start on my 1968 this winter. When I do I'll be digging out the parts I've collected and will be selling the extras once I find what I needed. John

Shawn, I'll make a list but right off I know there were parts from the rear bumper. I think the tail light assemblies were in the box with the skirts you already got, but it's been too long since I packaged it up and don't remember for sure what all was in it. John

 

Skinny, the axles are on their way. FedEx tracking number is: 723382610002365 Please let me know when they arrive. John

 

PM sent. Looking for trunk lock cover.

 

yeah i got the parts off the rear bumper,,they cleaned up well,,

 

any luck on the trunk lock cover? door panels?

 

While crawling through the garage looking for other items people have requested I came across a few things I believe came off the 1973 Olds 98. Here's some pictures. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see pictures of other views. I do have more pictures already posted at: http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...20and%20Parts/

The rotors look almost new, so I'd like $40 for the pair plus shipping and they can ship US Postal large flat rate boxes, one in each box. The rest of the parts, $10 for one, $15 for two and $20 for three each plus shipping. Still looking for other items so I may update this as I find more. I do have the 455 but would like to sell it assembled as a complete engine. I have lots of core engines so if you need an engine part let me know.

how is the trunk lid and the piece below the rear window

 

ajsmith, sorry I no longer have the trunk lid or the main body of the car

David, I'm not sure I still have those parts but I'll start looking for them.

John

 

Hi, do you know if the clock and horns work and do you still have them If so would be intrested in buying them Thanks, Mike 240-508-0110

 

hey there,,,,how much for the licence plate frame,,,,Is it in good shape,,any rust

 

Hey if you have any factory valve covers from this car or just laying around I could use a pair.

 

David, I found one of the door handle surrounds with the lock switch but am still searching for the other one and the radio.

hkr, I know where the back seat panel with the clock is, but have not come across the other items yet. I've got a lot of "treasure" but it's not very organized

1973olds98, Shawn, are you describing the rear bumper section with license plate lights shown in the recent picture updates? If so there's a photo of the backside on the photobucket site, just click on the link. There is some damage to the rubber impact strip pieces but I think the rest looks good. No cut wires on the lights. $10 plus shipping for anything except the brake rotors on the updated photos. Quantity discounts if you see more things you can use

5025spd, are you looking for the valve covers with OLDSMOBILE stamped in them? Yes I do have some of those and will try to get some photos for you.

I came across a few more items today but haven't had time to take pictures and update the thread. Hope to soon.

 

Any stock valve covers work for me cheaper the better as long as I can clean up and paint. Better than the rusted chrome pos on my car now.

 

5025spd, OK, I've got lots of those. But I'm in Oregon, if you check with some of the East Coast or even mid-west guys I'm sure you could save a couple bucks on shipping.

You might check with Eightupman as he's in Charlston S.C. and has access to lots of parts. I haven't seen any posts from him here in a while, so you may have to contact him at: http://www.oldspower.com/ John

Would you happen to have a nice column shifter lever for a 65 Cutlass?
Mine needs the end, would be interested in the end, or the whole shifter arm.
I do not need the whole column.
Thanks in advance...
Jim

 

Thanks for checking. Actually I'm looking for the dash clock unless its the same as the back seat. Appreciate your time, Mike
