At least in some cases they can. Several things I've needed for my 70 F-100 weren't available at the auto parts store, they said 'dealer item'. I went to the dealer and was able to get some of them (breather cap, for example). They actually had to dust off the ancient paper manuals as the computer didn't have the info. For other stuff that nobody seemed to have I've used LMC with success. I'll try BOTP next.
