Looking for shop manuals and parts lists? There seem to be a very good selection at rockauto.com.

When picking random examples; 1972 Dart, they have the Owners manual, Mopar Factory Parts Book, Factory Shop Manual, on CD and in print, and wiring diagrams.
For a 1964 D-100 there are 1964 Dodge truck shop manual on CD, and the 1963-1968 Dodge Truck Factory Parts Book.

I know these are available from other outlets, but here you can get them all in one place.

It is very possible that I just haven't noticed them before, one get so used to not finding relevant literature, so why bother to look at the ones right under your nose!

I think I share that with many other members...

Olaf.

Not necessarily one place..... :wink:


Rock Auto has various warehouses, and if they ship from more than one location, you have to pay the shipping costs from each location.....

emsvitil, yes I have experienced that myself. When ordering parts now, and there are several verions available of the same part, it pays off to try to fill the shopping cart with various versions, then you will get feedback on where they are shipped from, so you can choose the same location. But in general, that kind of behaviour from a big chain like rockauto (others do it too!) is a real PITA!

It used to be worse............

It didn't tell you what locations it was shipping from, and you had to figure it out yourself...........


And sometimes it would vary shipping locations depending on "the order" you entered your parts..
