Suggestion for site improvement. It would be handy if each user had a personal notes page to document vehicle specifics, same as the personal biography but for the vehicle. Notes that you do not want in your signature. Could be used for what part number hydroboost unit was installed, when I installed a red head steering sector, part number I used from a new holland dealer for the 4wd shifter bushing that is no longer available from ford, part number of the led bulbs used in the dash lights. document oil changes and oil sample test, track fuel milage if you feel, application of the 1-1/4 wheel cylinder, link to that place I found the ultimate doohicky at. This would be great for not only finding replacements, but when we are asked for a list of part number to do a project like zf conversions and hydroboost.

this is 1/2 the reason I started a build thread,
the problem is, after so long the info is buried and its hell to find.
there are lots of PN's in the tech articles, but it does get a little confusing.
lots of information creates brain overload.

Thought about the tech article, but there not always the specific part numbers you or me used. Be a nightmare if everyone added to the tech section of what they used.
Other bad on a build thread, besides finding, is you really do not need comments on which part you used, just need to document it.

So do you want a designated forum section to where you can only post to your thread? Like say you post a new thread in said forum, you are now the only one that can post it in. No one else can reply.

o0o0oo0... just a thought.
maybe if you have info you want to put into your "database"
you tag yourself, and said info goes into your user profile,

I was thinking something like biography under about me, just a little larger. Maybe a separate tab for truck build under profile. Easy for the owner to find and refer others to. I was not thinking anything more then text, but others may like something different.

I not sure if everyone wants to see a thread pop up that says
balanced tires using static balance method on 9-12-16 results shakes at 71-74
Moved timing to 8.0 degrees at 2000, better starting more noise egt seem lower. 10-12-16
Installed new denny's front driveshaft. 10-14-16
11-1-16 took trip to Helena and back averaged 16 at 80mph.
