Why no "Work Truck" forum????

It just doesn't make sense....we have a forum for "biodiesel & alternative fuels" but nothing for "work trucks"??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I gotta think of the 40,000 members on this site, at least 20% use their trucks for some type of construction, agriculture, plowing, car hauling, etc. type use. Much more than the number of "biodiesel" users.

It would be a great place to talk about tool racks, tool boxes, hitches, utility bodies, plows, dump/rollback/flatbed bodies, tarp systems, etc.

Heck, I would think it would invite some pretty well heeled advertisers, too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Whattaya think?

Well, the above has nothing to do with Ford Diesels so try the "Other" forum [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img].

Re: Why no "Work Truck" forum????

Smokey,

Is there any reason it couldn't be tried on a trial basis for a couple months? If it turns into a mausoleum, then shut it down. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

It seems like it would attract aftermarket companies to advertise there, too. Companies like Myers, Western, Galion, Aero, all sorts of work truck accessory & aftermarket companies. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]

Thanks for assuming I have any sort of pull around here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I don't. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

But I'm sure Jason will see this thread. He doesn't post a lot about this sort of thing, so if he doesn't reply and you don't notice the change showing up, then you'll know he didn't agree with your proposal.
