1964 - 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, El Camino & Malibu Used Parts Buyers Guide By PAH Publishing
Chevelle Used Parts Buyers Guide 1964 - 1972
Big, bad and bold would be just one great way to describe Chevrolet's wildly popular Chevelle model. What's even crazier is that these cool cars are perhaps even more popular today than they were back when they were brand new. For that reason, it's important to know how to find and identify the necessary parts to repair, rebuild or restore your classy Chevy. Luckily, this fantastic guide is here to save the day. It's titled "Chevelle Used Parts Buyers Guide 1964 - 1972". This handy book was passionately assembled by Paul Herd, a prolific author of interchange and restoration manuals. You'll quickly discover that it is a wonderful resource for locating the correct parts for your 1964 - 1972 Chevelle.
When it comes to being successful at finding parts, what you first need to know about cars (such as the Chevelle) is that they are built with both specialty parts and line parts. Specialty parts are ones that are manufactured only for a specific model. Line parts, on the other hand, are the ones which are made to be used on various models, and often used for multiple years as well. A substitute word for line parts is "interchangeable". If you look at things from a manufacturer's perspective, by using the same parts on more than one vehicle (and carrying over from year to year), it helps to keep down the production costs.
With respect to how this piece of information affects your parts quest, in many cases it means you won't have to restrict your search to the exact same year and model car as your own. That's great news! By having this book in hand when you head-out to the salvage yards and swap meets, you'll be able to follow the detailed Chevelle used parts guidance information included to locate your factory correct parts from alternate sources such as a Camaro, Nova, full-size Chevrolet, or even a Monte Carlo, to cite just a few examples. They're the same parts, you'll just have more chances to find them!
