Where can I buy Gatorback belts? So far I've tried Advance Auto, O'Reilly's, Autozone and a local Goodyear shop. Nobody sells Gatorback belts here in Kansas City, so I'll have to order them online.
Any recommendations on online sources for these belts?
I'm looking for both the drive belt and the A/C belt for a stock 1999 Trans Am.
THANX!

Amazon.com! Wow, thanks guys!
I got both belts for less than $40! The order was eligible for super-saver shipping, and I can wait a few days so I chose the free shipping.
Goodyear 4040410 Gatorback Poly V-Belt $12.87
Goodyear 4060790 Gatorback Poly V-Belt $26.85

Contact these guys. My father has worked for this company since 1970 and this is where we've always gotten our belts, among many other parts.

seriously? Its like buying a brand new belt and then take a razor knife and cutting it.... not all the way, but just enough to make it weak, so it wont have to crack later on... and it looks like garbage if you ever go to car shows..

Just got mine this morning and installed it. NO more sqweel. The original belt was a GM and the outside of it was super shiney and slick. I think thats what was causing the noise and the new one is a a bit tighter/snugger. Summit racing ordered thurs, rec sat $41.92.

Thanks for posting up with all the great info guys! 
I ran the part numbers and found both belts on amazon. With shipping it cost me just over $30 for both of them.
The wife and I are planning to attend the 2011 Power Tour this year. I thought it'd be a good idea to upgrade from the original factory belts that are presently on my 50k mile Firebird. Plus with the new belts installed, I can pack the old ones in the trunk as spares for the trip.
