Hey chuck, does the 6 digit rule apply to all part #'s or just the later years?
Yes, as a general rule they are. Not to say there aren't exceptions...
Chuck
Perhaps it applies only to the accessories? I just re-checked my dealer accessories parts lists ('46-'78), and they all have six digit part numbers. The numbering system doesn't seem to follow any pattern that I can determine either... for instance a rear bumper guard for a '78 Nova carries part number 347564, while a '78 full-sized Chevy has 371979 and a '69 full-sized Chevy rear guard is listed as 993505. I guess, then, that the possibility of the "99" prefix meaning a "dealer installed accessory" isn't 100% valid.
Checked my "regular" parts manuals, and yes, there are quite a few 6-digit part numbers in there.
As I said before, there are likely exceptions. Perhaps there's a GM parts counterman on the list who can shed some light on this? Rich... any more thoughts on the numbering system beyond what you've already shared with us?

The 99 may mean dealer installed. But it's not the rule for all part #'s. Now I'm talking from what I know from work. This is how it works at Hydra-matic. Say you have a part # 8624124. The 86 means Hydra-matic, the 24 is model,(400 trans) and 124 is the description. (clutch plate) Now this same part # has been used during the full run of the THM400. So it does not give the year just the model. Dealer installed options probably are different. They need to know year, model and what it is.

I knew there was a method to their madness... Do you think it'd be correct to assume the "99" prefix is assigned to dealer installed items? Your description of the part number breakdown certainly makes sense to me... Chuck
Re: [Chevelle-List] GM Part Numbers
Title: Re: [Chevelle-List] GM Part Numbers John, I didn't mean to imply that 6 digits are dealer installed items. Because they're not. What I meant to say was the 99 prefix may code out to be dealer installed. The rest of the part # is description. Just as the 86 codes out to be Power Train. (Hydra-matic) But the dealer installed items are not always the same numbers as the manufacturer unless that item is installed at the factory also. Even then, the number could have a different prefix. But the rest of the # has to be the same. Part numbers are mysterious at best. It seems what makes sense to an engineer makes no sense to us folks who are trying to decipher them. So you are absolutely correct in what you say.
