Lightbulb Thru 1975 - Oldsmobile Chassis and Body Parts Catalog

I figured this would be useful to allot of the users of this forums. I have a 1975 Oldsmobile Chassis and Body Parts Catalog that is in pretty good condition and figured I would make it a little more useful. I have scanned all 1866 pages, recreated the table of contents with hyperlinks that jump to each section, and used Adobe Acrobat Pro text recognition tool so the entire catalog is searchable. Of course, I am sharing hoping it will be a useful tool for everyone looking for original Oldsmobile Part Numbers.

(However, of course even after size reduction it still is about 460 MB PDF file so you will want to download it.)


The table of contents has links to jump to each section...

That's also a fairly useful version of the book. There is a commonly available version that was printed in Aug 1983. That one is worthless, since most of the older parts were long gone from the system or superseded by other P/Ns. An Aug 75 printing is much more useful, as many of the parts were still in the system. Unfortunately, there will still have been superseded and deleted parts - even the Jan 1972 parts book has sketchy data on mid-60s part numbers for example. Still, thanks for doing this.

Nice. Wish it was up to 76-77. Should still be applicable for most parts though.

My car came back from the painter's with a few "spare" parts. Some I didn't recognize.

I searched the number molded in a rubber assembly and in about 3 minutes I had a match with a description.

Thanks again. You saved a lot of detective work.
