tech articles section ??? really ???
every now and then I look through the tech articles section to see if there is anything new that is technically relevent to our trucks... lately (for the last year or so) all I see are reviews of new ford trucks, adds for insurance, and videos from aftermarket dealers hawking their stuff...
what happened to the old hands-on tech stuff ???

Well the way I see it people are moving away from hands on make it yourself to picking up a catalogue and ordering parts....... not the way Dad taught me though 
so I usually only use the catalogues for the pretty pics and maybe some swapping ideas..... I guess I belong to a dying breed so to say

Penn Dick,
I miss it too.... wish we could go back... between the popups and the blatant ads... I fully expect to see something like ... '"We interrupt this post for this short video commercial" and you have to watch the commercial to see the added posts to a thread...

John, some of them are still there but are hard to find. I found your building a transmission crossmember article under Articles/Specs under a list for 53-79 F-Series. You almost have to know it is there to be able to find an appropriate article.

yeah, my first stop for tech is usually the tech archive over at that schnooty traditional hot rod website.
