Does this idea have value to owners of GMC's? As for me. I don't see me needing much of anything for our GMC. Because we've just spent in this past year. A little over $40,000 in new everything. And that money was for parts, and things ONLY. NO labor included. I did install the transmission from the burned GMC. That trans has about 22,000 miles on it. Now I seem to have got my shorts in a knot that the trans isn't a fresh rebuild. So next month the trans will be out again for that. Thus my only use of a list would be to help get rid of the good extra parts that I do have. But that can be resolved with a trip to Marion Iron for recycling. And trashing good used parts just rubs me the wrong way. Need some feed back here from you guys, and gals. E-mail, or phone. 319-521-4891

Well Peer. That sums the idea up well. Needs to be kept as simple as possible. I have a very nice complete 78 frame that will need a new home. Even has the state title with VIN. All or parts.

If you have parts that you don't want to sell for whatever reason. Don't list them. As far as why they want the part I'd sell. I don't care why they'd buy a part I had. I've got parts I'd give away just to make someone happy. This idea is more about helping each other in finding the items we need. And can't find. No matter the size. I've had parts that were on my want list. And couldn't find it. And I know that someone has that part that they don't need or want anymore. It would also help that widow that ends up with HIS prize stuff. Then knowing the parts went to some other GMC owner. And not the land fill. We've all heard those stories way to often. We're way too small of a committee to not be thinking of each other.

GMCMI has it's new parts book that's in print. But this used parts list would have to be an internet list. As it would be changing all the time as I see it. And could be accessible at anytime, or place. I have a 403 head that has been properly cleaned, and magnafluxed for cracks. Then a 3 angle valve job. Panted the proper corporate blue. This is the type of part that would be an example of a part for the list.

At this summers Branson rally. A guy showed up only to find out his engine problem was a cracked head. Or both. Don't remember all the details. But some guys jumped in to get the 455 apart. Some how found some shop, or person in Ohio that had some so called good heads. The guy that owned the GMC paid a lot for the heads. Plus shipping. Well. Those great heads weren't very good. But they'd get him back to Texas. It just makes me sick to see this happen. Is there some way that people that have good used parts. Can post them to some page that well keep the listing until there sold. Many of us have lots of used parts that really need new homes at owners that need them. You just can't find these parts out there anymore. I hear of guys that have this stuff. But say they have no way to get rid of it. You can put some ad out there in June. Then in Oct someone needs that part. But by then the ad is gone. We need to unite on this in some way to keep these GMC's on the road.
