and clinebarger... lol... no... I am not worried about looking like a fool in front of the counter guy at the local parts house. Exactly the opposite.. I went in for an outboard axle seal for my 89 chev 4x4 and after receiving the wrong seal TWICE I pulled the old one and took it down there.
Guy tells me its from an 89 chevy K1500. Well duhhh you asshat. I told you that both previous times.
I have really bad luck with parts people. Main reason I am looking for this info is so I can order online. Maybe I can break the mojo.
