All true. I have DIY'ed a bunch of age related stuff on the LC and the ability to see pictures with circles and arrows and well written comments is so great. Parts buys are simplified, I can prioritize work, etc.
I have the big shop manual (came with the truck) and never use it as a primary source other than to get the nomenclature right for searches.
As to the OP, when I bought a 1983 SC Targa in need of work five years ago, I started back down the search path in tech support here. The information and insight was excellent and I never posted a request.
In an odd twist, I was able to chart the scope and cost of the project in advance and decided to sell the SC before I started the work. I just wasn't up for that much effort and time.
So, good on the youngsters!
