in an attempt to actually find the things which i have saved for reference,

i was hoping for some guidance.

Q: are brakes considered

a. - drivetrain components

b. front (& rear) end components

c. suspension components


there will be more Qs as i get a more sophisticated system, but for now i'm

happy with the "animal, mineral, vegetable" options.

thanks

Hi,

Do you plan to share the results as a pdf document?
Take a look at what i have taken from the Internet Archi's sit, fixed, added to and reorganized in the Techno link in my signature.
 
wow; now That's some impressive organization!

i think it's way beyond the scope of knowledge & energy i can muster, but it certainly is aspirational.

Glenn: Thanks so much for organizing and preserving those great technical resources. Too bad there isn't a Burt Lancaster and V8 Coopman portfolio.
They both were exceptional in their knowledge and the sharing of their knowledge.
 
You might want to consider using Ford's standard part number system shown in the front of the Green Bible and elsewhere.

Here is the Green Book TOC and the parts numbers table.

Yes, many of Burt's articles are included in Rumble Seat's files and some in the Techno too.

I've thought about all the photos and good writeups too. I may be able to get them off the Barn for consolidation but sure wish I had his treasure trove of pictures, yours's too!
 
I believe I would be remiss if I did not point out that one the knowledgeable gentleman being referred to in this thread was named Bruce Lancaster, sometime known as "The Librarian". Burt was a fine actor in his own right, but he couldn't hold a candle to Bruce when it came to old Fords.
 
was it Burt or Bruce who could swing from a trapeze?

i think i have that in my files. let me check in just one more . . . nope; not there either.

i gotta get more organized.
 
My dad collected Ford literature staring in the 1950s when he was restoring Model A's and then Flatheads. It fills up an entire room. I think he was more into collecting the literature than he was the actual cars.

This is precisely what I had done when researching for "It's Ford for '40".
Made my life easier...
 
I use the Ford part numbering system to catalog the information I collect. I put pictures, articles, descriptions, drawings and anything related to a part in a folder with the basic part number. When there are multiple versions of a base part number, I use sub-folders for versions of each part. It was a bit of a tedious process to get started but now all new information has a logical home or else a new folder gets created.
