| OK, I'll admit I'm a village idiot on some things, but what does NOS relating to a repair item mean? |

It dose stand for New Old Stock .But dose not always mean it is original equipment from AC,IH etc. , it could still be aftermarket items that have just been around a long time .Got to watch how some people list items if buying off e-bay .. ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead. If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED. |

Don't git all giddy because it is NOS or NIB. I have bought NOS stuff and it is so shelf worn that the used part I had was in better shape. NOS or NIB usually means that it was never installed, you can have a NOS piece that is rusty and crusty but becuase it was a factory piece and never installed it is still "NOS". I have several old cars and NOS usually means parts from the original supplier, NORS (new old replacement stock) is the companies that made the replacement or service parts from that same era, like Gabriel or Monroe shocks when it originally came with MOPAR, GM or Ford branded parts off the assembly line.

I'm a Chevy guy but this is still funny... CHEVROLET Cracked Heads Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Engine Ticks What's funny to me is that described the '51 grain truck I was working on last winter just perfectly! Got it all fixed now, though.

How bout' "F*#$n' old rusty dog. That was what we used to call em' round here. When I was a kid, I worked in a Sunoco station. There was an Esso station down the street which was our competition at the time. (before it became Exxon-dating myself here) We used to say: Esso- "Every Sucker Stops Once"... We used to call Studebakers "Stupidbakers" because of some of the mixed matched engineering on the older models. They were tough old vehicles though I havta' say...
