Parting 1973 Olds 98 4 door - Page 2

1973olds98 · October 25th, 2009, 10:54 AM

I would be interested in the front and rear coil springs,,The previous owner slammed my 98 and i would like to lift it back up...

Gustav455 · October 25th, 2009, 06:22 PM

Hey John, yeah thats the piece I took a pic of it on my passenger side on my car. I tried seeing how one takes that rubber piece out. On my driver side it seems to slide right out if your careful enough but my right side seemed like it was in there. But it is cold out too, so theres not much flex there. Heres a pic of it:

Its the rubber piece that sits in that metal piece. Although the back door window in that 98 is shaped differently the front windows are not shaped differently so this should work because it has to sit against it the same way. That rubber piece kind of flaps over. My drivers side doesnt and its kind a pain. Also glad you might have a air cleaner, all the ones I have tryed to get are for either chevy or pontiac and the breather cap is on the driver side for those. The oldsmobile one is on the passenger side with the heat tube, and where I live I just cant seem to find an Olds one lol, Thanks, Gustav

2blu442 · October 25th, 2009, 09:32 PM

Skinny, I pulled the axles. Here's a couple pictures of them. The wheel bearings look different, but they both feel smooth and I believe they're good.

Shawn, I pulled the rear springs and here's a picture

Gustav, I worked on the car today but forgot to look at the window strips. So you just need the rubber piece, not the chrome? Your the third person in the last few days who asked about an air cleaner, but I'll see what I can find.

Here's a couple more items I pulled in case someone needs them. I also got the hood springs and bumpers (Part of the rear bumper is spoken for). If there's anything else you need speak up quickly! It will probably go away in the coming week. tribunicus let me know what you think about the glass.
John

Gustav455 · October 26th, 2009, 08:57 AM

I don't think he'll mind the bearing issue. He's probably going to break them anyway.

2blu442 · October 26th, 2009, 07:13 PM

So... is that what the axles are for Jeremy? Oh Man, I just recognized that as YOUR car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Gustav, I pulled both back windows from the car. I'll get a closer look at the seals and post some pictures for you.

Gustav, here's a couple photos of the window trim. The rubber looks good, It wouldn't easily come off the chrome trim but I was able to remove it from the glass. If you would send me your address in an email or PM I'll provide you with a price including shipping. John

2blu442 · November 10th, 2009, 07:22 PM

Hello Shawn
I'll try to get pictures of the bumper in the next couple days. Are you wanting that before the other parts? John

ctrain22 · November 10th, 2009, 07:41 PM

John,

Boy, you are one busy guy. That's the downside of doing a good job. Also the upside!! Any luck on the a/c duct assembly? I guess 68 or 69 would work.

Charlie

2blu442 · November 10th, 2009, 08:34 PM

Hi Charlie
I haven't come up with them yet, but still think there's a good chance I have them. I'll try to dig around some more in the next couple days. John

1973olds98 · November 11th, 2009, 07:15 AM

John,,I cant even remember what else i have u holding for me..Could u give me a least,,I appreciate u holding them for me..I am back to work now and have some extra cash,,,So if u could send me a list,,,I know u have the a/c componets for me,,,What else? I have had so much on my mind about losing my job I am trying to get it back together again no that I am employed again,,,lol

ctrain22 · November 11th, 2009, 12:00 PM

John,

Just went through some pieces I got with the car and found the main manifold assembly. A small piece is broken off, but I can fix it. Didn't recognize it with the section missing(not to mention I was looking at it upside down). So, don't worry about the order. I will contact you when I need other stuff, which is inevidible.

Thanks again for your efforts and great support.

Charlie

2blu442 · November 11th, 2009, 12:33 PM

Cool! I'm glad you found the part. Thanks for letting me know. I hope to start on my 1968 this winter. When I do I'll be digging out the parts I've collected and will be selling the extras once I find what I needed. John

Shawn, I'll make a list but right off I know there were parts from the rear bumper. I think the tail light assemblies were in the box with the skirts you already got, but it's been too long since I packaged it up and don't remember for sure what all was in it. John

2blu442 · November 11th, 2009, 12:35 PM

Skinny, the axles are on their way. FedEx tracking number is: 723382610002365 Please let me know when they arrive. John
