Anything still available at GM for 78 Cutlass?

HAFROD · January 22nd, 2008, 06:15 AM

I bought a 2-door 78 Cutlass Saon aeroback. I need outside window felts and would like to buy brand new park lens', turn sig lens' etc. Anything still available or has it all been bought up????

Try local u-pull-it or junkyards

eBay and google can be your friends too

Thanks for the replys guys, but I'm looking for NOS(new old stock) GM parts for my afforementioned parts!!!! I've hit every salvage in my 50 mile radius and have bought some really nice lower door panels, main dash, a and b-pillar plastics, and a few other nice small parts.

It's possible but highly unlikely. The problem is that you'll need to know the number of the part you're looking for. With that, any GM parts counter can search the inventory. They can also search for discontinued parts that are on a shelf at a dealership somewhere. Just don't hold your breath.

I do have one success story, however. I needed a belt weatherstrip for the rear window on my B-body wagon. Fortunately these were the same for 1977-1990 wagons. The part is long discontinued but the local dealer was able to find a stash at another dealership and scored one for me.

Those lenses will be hard to find. Check out the following websites. They are salvage yards with good internet sites.

Where does one acquire a book of all the part numbers so you know what to ask for?
The best I've done so far is find a brand new GM back bumper for my Delta 88through dealership searches. It would be nice to have the book for 78-85 Delta 88s

I've found dealer parts books at swap meets and on line. You have to keep looking.
