Re: "Basics of Basics" Parts store tricks to get the parts you need.

The license plate brings up the vin and the computer program has the info that relates to the vin. Works as long as someone didn't do a drivetrain swap.
Basically they were doing an advanced form of what the young Lady I saw did when she went out and took the photo of the vin to take back inside and use to find the correct part.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
