I do not think I saved any cash by being on this board but the knowledge I learned, ideas I have found and learning about the various vendors to buy parts has been priceless for me. I have ordered from board vendors and sold some used parts from this site.

Re: Has this forum saved you money on a purchase of a 67-72 truck or related parts?
I never really did any work on a car and certainly never a truck. I saw my '67 on Kijiji for $1500 and then did google searches and found this forum. I saw it was probably worth the $1500 and bought it the next day.
Without this forum, I would never have known: -how to remove the headlight switch (damn that tab)! -the difference between a temperature switch and temperature sensor -how to find a key-off battery drain (short behind the fusebox grrr) -how to find a key-on drain (messed up trailer light wiriing-thanks LonghornMan) -how to do replace the wheel bearing and wheel cylinders on the front drums -why there's no mounting holes in the head for the alternator! -that a 283, 305 and 350 SBC have many interchangeable parts -that I had the spark plug wires on the wrong cylinder (oops) -what NOS, NIB, SBC, and WTF means Also I appreciate the down-right helpfulness of the people on the sight. I've never had anything but helpful advice and patience when asking a newbie question. So, I guess I would say that I would have paid thousands to get the truck fixed professionally and with this forum I was able to do most of the work myself or with little help.
