Re: Cant seem to find a Gatorback belt (cptnsolo77)

Try Amazon and Rockauto.com. They both carry the Goodyear belts.Use Gatorpart# when searching on Amazon.Compare for price & shipping costSometime Amazon has free shipping if total purchased is >$25 for qualifying items. In general Rockauto has lower item cost, but have shipping charges.
