I saw this on Ebay and was wondering if it's the catalog from a dealership with part numbers listed there with pictures for our trucks? If so let me know. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=34216

You might want to email the seller and ask. Also have him send you a inside look at the pages. Seems like he would have done that on the ad.

I recently bought one of the early ones, had everything needed.

My understanding it that later editions had two books.

One was the exploded views, and one had numbers.

Depends on what you are looking for.........

Looks like it could be from an auto parts store.

You should ask him about why the $10 shipping. He/she will probably ship USPS media mail which is cheap. Manual probably weighs only 3 pounds. For example if sent from my location in Oregon to say North Carolina, some 3,000 miles, it is only $2.76 to mail & 7 days. He/she is going to pocket the change.

Ebayers try to rape you on the shipping.

Ya they do that to help pay for the ad i think its wrong but they do it. Also i would email the person too and ask.

Bobs76 · 04-22-2003, 04:08 PM

A lot of them do it to cover the cost of boxes and shipping materials. At least thats what I have found out from my dealings on e-bay.

In this case it only cost the guy 55 cents to list about $1.50 final auction cost, and the packaging for a big clasp envelope is $1.25, not a big investment.
