Default Parts prices going up??

I pulled out my Eckler's 2003 Spring/Summer catalog #203 today to look up a couple of parts I know I need for the '71 that is coming in and wrote down the part #'s.

Pt# 33826 Door locks with key - $19.99 pair (Pg 334)
Pt# 26773 Lock retainer - $1.25/ea (Pg 317)
Also looked for decal for air cleaner - 454-365HP(not in catalog)

So, then I went to their website and looked up the same parts:

Pt# 33826 Door locks with key - $23.99 pair
Pt# 26773 Lock retainer - $5.99/ea(not even the same part online - says for 56-67)
Pt# A6220 Decal for Air Cleaner - 454-365HP - $4.25

That Eckler's catalog is not that old. Are prices jumping that much? Anyone else running into the same thing?

I'd look somewhere else. I'm starting a parts list for the Knoxville Expo. I bet Carlise will also have some good deals and discounts.

Call them and quote the price in the catalog. Don't mention the website, you might get lucky and get the old price.
