How'd you do that?

This post is intended to be a resource for members who want to see how it's done. Fomoko1 doesn't think there is enough room for this as a "Read First" thread so lets get it going here. When you post please include a title in the first line: Example - Installing an IFS, Converting 6 volt to 12 volt, Installing a wood bed etc. Everyone on here loves pictures so include them and let us know where you got your part.

In some ways I agree with Fomoko1. We have a Read First entitled "Cool Tips and Tricks". But it has become very popular with lots of good stuff posted there. And somewhere, I can never find them when I need them, there are special posts that cover the IFS you mentioned, rear axle replacement, adding power steering, and many more. What we need is a way cross categorized threads so we can find things easily.

In 2012 Fomoko1 tried to do this with a post at https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ml#post9929807. But it hasn't been kept up and I can never remember where it is when I need it.

Your statement about cross categorized threads would probably work the best. I encountered the same frustration when preforming a search, say for installing a gas tank and getting everything with gas mentioned. I thought that having a thread with in depth installation instructions, diagrams and pictures would be easier for members to search.


Thanks for your comment. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I find that sometimes searching by the post helps particularly on threads with a large number of posts. Sometimes but not always. You have to "kiss a lot of frogs" to find what you want sometimes. 🐸 🐸 🐸
