This book includes body and interior parts from the firewall back; a separate mechanical parts book usually covers the front fenders, grill, and dash. This is the book that dealership parts & service departments used to order parts. The illustrations in the book will help you to identify parts, and the exploded views can aid you with the assembly or disassembly of some parts of the vehicle. The text is a list of the parts available at the time of publication with data such as part numbers, model-year application and/or component application, part names, and more.
You will find original parts numbers, which are still useful today because most parts vendors still use those numbers to keep track of their own stock. You can also use this parts book to find out which parts on your vehicle interchange with other years and models covered in this book. Parts books are the authority on the correct equipment for your vehicle; you'll know definitively which parts and accessories are original when you use this book.
