Search help?

I belong to several forums and some work better than others. I must be doing something wrong. Example, I put in steering column or steering column rebuild and get pages of unrelated topics. The same with custom wheels. I narrow the search down to 64-66 birds but leave everything else as set. Thanks ...

Thanks! I belong to several forums and none of them work very well when it comes to search. I guess I need to try more random words than phrases. Since you helped me with the mirror question, any tips on finding custom wheel info? I found a few threads, but Im sure there are many Im not accessing. T...

Hello, Frank here. Newby too. Maybe between the both of us we can get some knowledge. I think Im going to need to buy a service manual. I sure could use an exploded view of an entire car. I cant help you, but just wanted to say hi. White 66 hardtop here too.

Documents!!?? You guys have that? Thats great. I only have whats attached to the car, so given that, it will stay white.
I would like to add power windows some day, but not at a cost of around $900 I have seen so far.
Any tips on less expensive main window options?
Thanks for helping a newbie!

Right side mirror

Hi, Frank here. The search didnt help any. Are there other mid 60`s Ford mirrors that will be compatable on a 66? Or, what are some ideas to avoid spending around $145 on a mirror? I really need that right side to see better. Thanks for your time.
