Score alright!!! I loaded and unloaded these myself today... Especially when I had to walk up and down a flight of stairs with eleven steps and a steep incline carring about 5-8 books at a time............. I sooo sleepy!!!!!!
I had the day off. I would have come and helped. Problem is, I have a case of kleptomania and my trunk would have been filled when you weren't looking...

Yes, independent. We have a deal with a GM dealer about 25 miles from us. We get our GM parts from them and our sales department gets new vehicles out of there as well. We are not allowed to have unsold new GM vehicles on our yard though. We stick to that carefully as we would jeopardize their franchise if we got caught with display units.
It has worked out quite well. I've bumped up our AC Delco parts purchasing from a local jobber store to supplement the parts department, so in most cases we are still selling exactly the same part. Of course our margins are down a bit but it is still ok. That supplier delivers to us 4 times a day so that is great.
There's a lot of things I don't miss at all, I have to say. A lot of that crap a guy used to put up with is gone, and that is fine. Some of those stupid policies GM had and the endless paperwork is gone which is wonderful.

Mine was loaded way down last week with a less valuable cargo ... cow manure! Cool stuff Vince! I'd love to hauling those instead of Sh-t!

You hit the mother load. Any 61 Pontiac manuals in there? If so and you want to sell I would be willing to buy. Or if any one else has one they want to part with or lend out for a couple of years.

When I go through tmen I will see. I will keep any singles but will disperse the duplicates. I want to build a library of books for the "garage" look and a conversational piece..
