I often find myself needing small and cheap parts to repair things and because they are so cheap I don't want to waste shipping costs on it and want to find the part at my local auto shops, but many times it seems that they don't carry them or just that neither me nor the clerk know where to look.
for instance I would like to get the courtesy/dome lamp lens which is a 2.99 part at ecklers. It would be a waste of money to pay 5 dollars in shipping alone or somewhere around there to order that cheap part but can't seem to find it at the local autoparts. I thought it might a helpful idea to post if you have found some Misc parts locally so everyone can save some time and money.
I was lucky enough to find the door jam switch at oriellys, but now I would like to find the courtesy lamp lens, any one found one at a local autoparts?
I just save small projects like that until i have 30 or 40 bucks worth then order them all together. Or I search around till I find some more things I "need" before placing the order.
If you are talking about the dome lamp lens. I believe it is the same lens used in 82-94 S10 pickup. You may find it at a local boneyard or auto store that carrys The prouct line of Help

Consider your self LUCKY if all you have to worry about is a $2.99 part. I think the cheapest I got out was from Wilcox for a tackboard and a light bulb kit for about $90. I better go look I probably needed the light cover too.
