Awsome deal.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was forced to go to the dreaded Auto Zone today, no one had the size freeze plugs that I needed, at least, not in brass, only steel, which rusts out. So i walked in there with rusty plug in hand and the parts guy (who actually seemed somewhat knowledgable) and he came back up with 6 brass plugs. Sweet.
He rings them up....one cent each.

I looked at him like he was crazy, and without even saying a word to him, he says;
Yup, that's the right price...we are getting rid of them, deleting them from the inventory.
6 brass freeze plugs for 6 cents.

You might just want to run out to Auto Zone and get a hand full. Don't ask for a kit, or by aplication... just tell them you want a hand full of X size plugs.

If I only had an autozone here...

ClayMore_5by5 · 08-02-2005, 11:07 PM

Around here, it's Autozone or O'Reilly's Auto parts. Of the two, I'll take AutoZone any day.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-02-2005, 11:29 PM

Are all the autozones doing that?

Longhorn Man · 08-02-2005, 11:38 PM

If it was in the computer, and they try to make all stores the same as the others, I'll assume it is across the board....but that IS just an assumption.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-02-2005, 11:46 PM

I'll check it out tomorrow.

*dtlilly* · 08-02-2005, 11:56 PM

Thanks for the tip!!

Blue_71 · 08-03-2005, 12:01 AM

well, that explains why the local A/Z was out of the size plugs i needed for the ford im rebuilding for my dad

70short/step · 08-03-2005, 12:11 AM

Andy, Did you ask for all they had in that size and stock up?? At 1 cent apiece I would say give me a $1.00 worth please!

longhorn71 · 08-03-2005, 12:26 AM

almost makes me wish i knew what the heck you were talking about even tho we dont have an auto zone

*HerLonghorn71* · 08-03-2005, 12:28 AM

tomatocity · 08-03-2005, 02:40 AM

what is the size of the freeze plug for a 350 SBC? Or better yet what is the part number you got at A...Z...?

Longhorn Man · 08-03-2005, 05:01 AM

I bought them for a caddy 500... no clue on what a small block takes.

GMC AMI · 08-03-2005, 03:51 PM

A wise move Andy since I had a plug start leaking on my 69 472 Caddy motor and that was no fun to fix installed in the truck.

Longhorn Man · 08-03-2005, 04:00 PM

Even with as cheap/broke as I always am, I NEVER instal an engine with old plugs. All it took was one freexe plug rusting out, and I'll never have it happen again if I have anything to say about it.
