A good parts guy helps a lot. Especially if you have a good relationship (ie he doesn't charge you list!)but fact is that a lot of parts for our truck are discontinued and NOS has been bought by dealers like LMC, Chevy Duty or even some of our vendors. You'll always be able to get parts, but maybe not from GM.
