All I ever use is the google search at the top of the page and check the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com". It has always worked good for me.

Organizing an informational section of "living" stickies with a standardized description that are updated as needed would create a resource that is both informational and timely.

A deserving post/process/build is identified and submitted to admin. Admin or volunteer generates the description, details, and whatever else is appropriate. Admin makes the description post#1 with the remainder of the sticky to follow. If someone wants to update the living sticky, they can submit their changes/updates to admin for review and post.

One thing I like about the www is that we always find a new way to skin a cat. An authoritative "how-to" section that has been vetted by those who know would be an incredible asset for a community like this.

My .02 cents, I'll take my change in large coins please.

We actually have a pretty good FAQ forum (or "how to" ). If you Scroll down to the bottom of this page you will see the "Forum Jump" box. Click on the little down arrow on the right side of the box and scroll down to "FAQ Truck Tech". Click on that and it will list all of the different FAQ sections.


A reply to the original thread question below:

On another note, one of my pet peeves is the lack of explanation on instructions. Case in point: In the 67-72 FAQ Index posted by FAQ Guy the 2nd post says "To add a link to the FAQ, please use the report a post feature. Thank you.".... 75% of the people who read that won't have a clue what the report a post feature is or where it's at. A short explanation of what and where would make a lot of difference on how many people actually use it. I know that the experienced person doesn't think about it because they know what it is and where it's at.
