A note regarding research on the FordBarn... Or, Off-Topic as you wish.

My biggest problem, when searching on this forum, is,.... do I search the threads or search the posts. What the hell's the difference?!!
I have to say, there is a fantastic amount of "accurate" information stored in this forum's archives. The searching is just part of the fun.
Thank you all who have contributed for all these years.

I will add what my buddy Skip said earlier in the week, directed to a brand new member/poster. Make the thread's title relevent to the subject at hand, as a good title aids the next generation of 'Fordnuts' to get the answers they need. I have broken this rule many times in the past and looking back, some were straight outa left field. Notably, 'A Covid excuse to play hookey'... huh? This was a lengthy and detailed thread about how I converted a rusted out Japanese 4x4 station wagon into a poser Desert Rat 42 ford to resemble the vehicles used in the North Africa campain during WW2. Horrible title. Then there was 'Winter without a project?' About a complete build of a '46 tonner express from parts donated by 3 parts trucks. Many pages of detailed text and photos that nobody working on a tonner will ever find. Choose a title for the next generation! End of rant. GB

Searching by individual posts is very granular. The only time I use it is for an "advanced" search where I recall a post by an individual here, such as DavidG.

This is a search for "steering box adjustment" by thread



and this is the same search by post
