I fear this in my table-making. Besides plain old mistakes I might make,
which I can simply fix, the aftermarket blurs things.

It's a really tough job to make the full brake list. What I'm doing is,
flling out the table with TSM data: brake brand, drum/shoe/wheel
cyl/caliper sizes. That stuff is accurate. Then from that I looked up
NAPA and rockauto, mainly. I put the NAPA/Rockauto part numbers in each
year/model box. ONLY THEN I consolidated all of the part numbers that
were identical. 

I absolutely resisted "assuming" that 73 hornet was the same as 74
hornet (even though I "know" they are the same).

This is probably due to aftermarket "collapsing" of part numbers.
Gremlins got 9x2 rears vs. 10x1.75 depending. Do you know which size was
listed for the above?
