Chassis and Body Parts vs. Parts and Illustration Catalogs

[Mark E.]

Besides the year range, what's the difference between:

"1953-1982 Corvette Parts and Illustration Catalog"

and

"1953-1980 Corvette Chassis and Body Parts Catalog" ?

Is one a subset of the other? Does only the first have illustrations?

Only the first has the illustrations. At the dealer's Parts Counters, Both would be present. In the '60s, when the Pts Bks included both Corvette and Psgr car, you could be talking 1500 pages. Some that are 5 years AFTER the year of the car that you're servicing will include parts that "will fit the hole" but may not be the part that came on the car.
