That would be a definite maybe I actually started using maybe with my first AOL account back in the mid-90s when I kept getting asked whether I was male or female, I always answered maybe, turned out to be a good move as things have turned out on the web...Mark

I would love to take credit, but I am afraid that bearkiller might become liarkiller , it was his post that suggested the dog tag. I am thinking about using a pop rivet somewhere near current label to mount it...Mark

One other place you might put some sort of sticker is on the data plate on the b pillar of the door. I know when the military does modification work orders, or depot-level rebuilds, they mark the data plate or put a new plate next to it with the updates done, etc.

OK, KISS is the rule of the day, so, I just put a bit of black rtv silicone on it and glued it in a conspicuous place:

Some future archaeologist can pry it off and find the wealth of info on the other side. I figure somewhere around 2086, if I can fix the brakes ...Mark

I thought of that, but I figured that because this engine is going to bury both me and the truck, it would be better to mount it on the engine...Mark

The collar tags that I had in mind were plain old brass oblong two-rivet tags like used on old mangey coon-dog collars; one dollar apiece at the feed-mill.
I hadn't envisioned that fancy blue bone-shaped $8 number, but I must say that it does look cool !!!

Believe it or not, the blue, bone shaped one was the plainest and the cheapest. We can just share credit for the idea and the changes made in R&D and just be happy that the first gen world is a better place for it......Mark

Yeah, a tag would look better. I am going to look at the engine tag when it gets light. I thought maybe an engraved message on it, if there is room. I know that I would have been bummed to get in there and found it done already, because That was the only reason that I took it apart, well only a little bummed Mark
