Is there a source for the 70-71 parts book, or should I buy the CD?
Online parts book?

This thing looks tedious to use. I guess it's a learning process.
On some of the downloads, they have an "Index" on the side toolbar which can get you to certain places without having to scroll through the whole deal to get there. On others, in the "Page" listing at the top, you can change the first page number (to an estimated value of where you want to be) out of the total pages number. Then things go directly to that page.
Once the download is finished and you open the file, look at the upper toolbar, the one that drops down for .pdf files There's a "Save as" icon near the rh of that toolbar, so you can save the whole thing to Documents, if desired.
Be aware, too, that some of the illustration pages will display "sideways". There's an icon in that second toolbar to rotate the images like that.
Once you figure out how to navigate things, it will be easier to deal with.
Enjoy!

Looks like you go to the bottom / back, find the description of the switch you want, get the code, (8-53-70), scroll up to the 8-53 section, narrow it down, and get the part number.
What you're terming "code" would equate to "group number" in other brands of OEM parts books. De-coding the upper menu of carlines and platforms is important, too. Easy to check for other applications of the same part number, too.
IF this was in tje 1970s, once you found the part number, then you'd go to the Price Book and see how much it was and where it was generally stocked (in the parts depot chain). If not in that part of the book, then a check in the back for part number changes (cycle repeat). IF no number changes and still not in the price section, then a check for discontinued parts, the famous "NS1" listing.
I once saw a late-model Chevy S-Blazer. The TX license plate started with "NS1-____". I saw that, smiled, and laughed.
Enjoy!
