In going thru a box of GM parts I bought for my project, there were nine early 1970s Pontiac pieces included in the lot I have not been able to identify.

I've got four volumes of GM master parts catalogs covering 1968 up thru model year 1975 for Pontiac, Buick, Chevrolet, and Oldsmobile and none of them list these parts (all of my books are printed after these parts were discontinued).

I did locate them in the GM discontinued parts booklet from December 1981, but that resource has no application information just the dropped date. So I figure these may only show up in an older Pontiac master parts catalog printing for the early 1970s models. Six of these parts are very likely LH and RH versions of the same type of part.

All of these parts are all marked either group 7.831 or 7.836 on the white GM sticker. The part numbers are both on the white GM sticker, and stamped into the steel part itself.

480855, 488050, 489874, 489875, 490495, 491345, 491346, 493900, and 493901

If someone happens to have such a resource, I would appreciate if you could take a peek as to what these are for.

Thanks,

Thanks the fast reply 64-3Deuces!

Much appreciated, and a lesson that it can be handy to have the earliest printing of parts manuals in addition to the last printing of them.

No problem, I have too much time on my hands so I figured I would put it to some good use Would be nice to have the parts illustration manual to see where those parts go but I don't have one for those years.......
