For anybody who has been ordering parts through Van Devere in Ohio, I just found out that Dal Slabaugh has retired, and Calvin, who ran Van Devere's on-line ordering site, has also retired.
According to the guy that I talked to, they plan on shutting down the website, and are no longer going to sell parts at the wholesale +10% price. That sucks. John |

Call Team Chevrolet. If you search, the info is here somewhere, or I can dig it up.

Dal has been a friend of this community for as long as I can remember.
I have spent many hours, over the years, seeking out parts and numbers. |

Dang. He will definitely be missed. Hopefully now, though, he will have time to enjoy some of his hobbies, instead of helping us enjoy ours. I don't know the $1000s I've spent with his help on our collection. His great service and wonderful attitude will be missed.
I got a chance to personally meet him at an Impala SS meet in Bowling Green. He is a really nice guy, and I consider him a friend. Even though it would be sometimes a year between contacting him for parts, he would remember me, or my wife when she called for Christmas presents. I sent a note to his email address to wish him well. His email is lockitup at bright d0t net. I hope he won't mind me sharing that with you guys. |

He'll definitely be missed. I've ordered many parts from him over the last 10+ years.
