Used Auto Body Parts

Q.Where can someone look in C-U to find used auto body parts (i.e. a couple of doors for an accident-damaged car)?

A.which company stocked my manual. Another source of information is back issues of the "Motors" auto/truck repair manual or a similar book by "Chilton". These books were published by year and old copies are still available in many local libraries (Try a nearby college library if the public library does not have a copy). If all else fails, detail the problem here and you will probably get a starting point for a solution. Each major sub system of the chassis will have a rebuilder in many large cities. Look in the yellow pages for Brake, Power Steering, or Engine rebuilders for example. I rebuilt the wheel cylinders using new parts from NAPA but I took the master cylinder and power booster units to a rebuilder in Atlanta because the parts were rusted and I could not find rebuild kits. The way the rebuilders can succeed is that they stock all sizes of the various parts so they can take the old part and match it with a new one from their stock. They also have cross reference lists that cover the internal parts for their specialty sub system. For repair services, check with your local truck repair facility (Hertz, Ryder, etc.). Most larger cities have one or more. Older motorhomes were built on standard work truck chassis instead of the specialized chassis designed for motorhomes in use today. The local repair facility can help you find parts and can do repairs that need special equipment like remove the rusted lug nuts or align the front end after a steering unit repair.
