    I'll just give them a link to this thread


    Actually, a few years back I picked up one of these that will be riveted somewhere on the truck, which covers the major components.




    I also keep a running record of the parts (with application/part number) on things like molded radiator hoses, belts, brakes and bearings (especially on ones like this that will have Granada Rotors, GM Calipers, hoses off who knows what and the correct bearings and seal to put them on Mustang II spindles). On parts that won't be seen I usually mark them with a paint pen/permanent marker (you might have noticed the writing on the transmission) I also write the U Joint numbers in paint pen on the ends of the drive shaft, especially when I use conversion joints.

    I also make a wiring diagram if I've done any major wiring changes/additions.

    I usually end up keeping the things I build for at least a few years, and it does make life easier when replacement parts are needed.
