Gary Lewis Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 It WAS a website & forum suggestion, Mr. Miseryguts. The site found my old '83 VIN, and the few details it shows are accurate for how it was originally built. But when I tried the embedded decoder here, it turned the page blank & grey. And it was a good suggestion. But for some reason it doesn't seem to work for some of us. I can't get it to do anything with Dad's truck's VIN, either here or on their website. And others have had similar experiences. But it works for others. As for the comment about getting back to website and forum suggestions, I took that to mean the title of the posts, which had changed to something about my pics and was changed back.

That's exactly what I was talking about Gary. (I see I went from Mr. Grumpy, to Mr. Miseryguts now.....) A comment and a question Whenever you imbed a Microsoft document -like in the Sky thread- my page takes a ridiculous time to fill. Is there some way for me to avoid that? Or some setting I can make to just block your chart, or list, or whatever you put there, so I don't have my phone timing out while waiting for the page to load? This happens even when I make a reply, because obviously the page is refreshing to include my new post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having a problem with some of Steve's posts not filling in due to SuperMotors not quickly supplying the needed pics. And I've started hitting the X where the Refresh icon usually is at the top of the page. That tells the browser to quit waiting on whatever it is waiting on. I don't know if you even have that button, but maybe? Anyway, I'll quit placing documents in posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to ask if there was a way for me to avoid them. No, I don't have any X in Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salans7 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 You're not the one he quoted.... Are you miseryguts? Whilst browsing though the clutch and linkage tab, I noticed there's a dead link to Terrapin Manufacturing. Might as well pull it since they've shut down. Forgive me if I put this in the wrong spot, it's late. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now reads: A brace of some kind really should be added if one is converting from a mechanical linkage to hydraulic. Unfortunately the Ford braces are no longer readily available. Even worse, Terrapin Manufacturing made a brace, but they've gone out of business. There are a few of the Ford braces and a few of the Terrapin ones floating around, but very few. Does that work? And thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85lebaront2 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It wouldn’t work for me here, I went to the site and got a screenshot. iPad. Not much info. I tried it and got very little on Darth, but for Mary's Flex it delivered a pretty comprehensive set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
