Rockfla hit the nail on the head that by far the biggest impediment to making any substantial future progress on any of the current or future books is totally dependent upon the re-opening of the Benson Ford Research Center for public access.

It's crazy how much effort it takes to write one of these books (well) and compound that with all the differences with all the variety of vehicle models Ford produced each year with running changes. Just for the 1935-1936 truck book, it took me 5 years, more than 3,000 hours, and multiple trips to the BFRC archives. Even then, it's not perfect. In a few months I'll put out an errata that's currently at 14 pages of new information, correcting wrong information, etc., that I was able to figure out without the BFRC and I have a five page single spaced list of parts and questions to resolve whenever they re-open.

Once, or if, the BFRC re-opens, then it's "just" a matter of someone devoting lots of energy and time to put a book together or update an existing book. Feel free to raise your hand to volunteer to write a book or help someone else along the way.
