It would be helpful if parts ads would indicate what year vehicle a part came off of. I know many parts work on 68-79 or 68-71, etc. I like to find parts that came off my year first and then maybe settle for one that will work from another year if I can't find my year. Is that anal?

Anal? Maybe.

But it's getting more and more common as bay owners are shooting for original restorations like the split owners have been.

Any other takers on this one :?: It would really help

Problem is, I've pulled off 79 injection from a 73 bus, calipers for the wrong year bus, wrong injection computers, etc ... a 1.8 carbed that had AFC 914 injection on it .... etc etc ....

It's hard to know if what you pulled off came from a particular year van,.

I'd hate to see someone advertise a CB engine and 002 tranny from a 79 Westy, and the person doesn't know the CB is a 1.7 and a 3 rub tranny from a 72 .....

So, I think it'll cause more problems than one would hope it would fix ...

In all fairness to a lot of sellers, they pull these parts of busses and store them for year, who remembers what year the part came off of when they have a pile of 50 ??

Noble idea, but I don't think it's best for the customer ....
