I will be updating the Build Blog section of the Tech Tips page and wondered how many of the Build Blogs listed here are current ... or somewhat current (like six months)?
Also, just wanted to check to see if there are any new ones?
These blogs are a great resource - it seems to me. in YOUR space you can all the pictures you want and hopefully from detail about what the pictures are and what you are doing to the truck.
Thanks,
Peggy

Nice-looking GMC. Lots of good pictures. Is there a place in the blog where there is more details or info - or is it mostly with the captions for the photos?
Gosh, this is such a nice job - we should do a Gallery story for the '48 and then refer them to the blog for more pictures. See you have some good posts in the forum about "Grandpa." Yea, definitely need to do your whole story.
Well, you've got a lot of stuff! Just saw your other website. Neato.
Some comment that the Wordpress is a bear to figure out ... think so? Your blog layout is nice and easy to navigate.

Newest will be on the front page, older ones are pushed to the back (currently at 3 pages). I don't have a build blog. I do have a thread going in the AD Truckers group on the HAMB here with the basic history of my truck ownership, kinda put up there in a couple of posts, instead of being done over the past couple of years. I don't know if that's visible to the general population, or if you have to be logged in to the HAMB to see it. I suppose I should start a build thread here. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 | EBS, No, it is visible without being registered. No sense in doing it in two places. We can link to there. As you can imagine, the more details you can add, the better. I like the beer cans on the back of the wedding vehicle. Now that's a working truck!  Peg

Well, that would be good. We've been including a "check the DITY Gallery" for more discussion, and for folks to continue to update their build story from the initial Gallery write-up. It's our way of doing an inter-action without having to set up a whole space for it - it's really already there with this forum. We just all need to use it more.
That will be good. Let's get the story started!
Wally, I'll check out your's too. You've been with us along time. I thought for sure your truck was in the Gallery already.

My pure laziness has stopped me from putting something in the Gallery. I'll get something there.
The web link in my signature also shows some amazing pictures of my '51 Chevy car in the 1960s!

Peg Thank you. I have sort of a "final photos" in a slide show here: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0NGqkRUiGr3GagI use the Wordpress ap on my iPad to do the blog. I used it mostly to track my progress. I did the same thing for the Willys wagon and the teardrop. It keeps me working on the project so I don't stall, knowing I need to add to the blog. What kind of details were you looking for? My main launch page is www.ssrjim.com. It links to all the places I have stuff on the net. I use all the free things the net has to offer.

I will take a look at this today and let you know.
That's good you have all this info documented. It will be a big help to others, I'm sure.
