Ok, just got home about an hour and a half ago, 12 hour road trip including alot of stops for gas, and some BS'n with the guy I got the Ranchero from.
Car was a genuine 1 owner. Guy bought is new, drove it, and when the frame developed the issues, he junked the car. I have the certificate stating the car was junked by the owner. 351c 4v CJ engine, c6, was a 2 bolt main block. Going to be rebuilt and put into a mustang.
Drivers door had rust in bottom, but could be saved with work. Passenger door alot better, but has lip rot.
Drivers fender seems good. Pass fender is rotted in a few places.
Hood good and straight, but there is rust on the seams. Header panel good. Grille ok, trim not bad, minor ding or two. Head light rings pitted a bit. Rad support has some rust, but looks ok. Didn't see any cracks wound the body mount area. Both fender liners junk.
Was a vinal roof car, but was removed and painted some time ago, but top trim was left on.
I don't know what is in the the rear axle, need to look it up yet. Assuming highway gears.
Has 11" discs and 11" drums. Brakes still work!
Floor pans are flinstoned, holes on driver side. Can't tell all that well on the passenger side yet, but assuming the same, need to pull up carpet.
Seats tracks set up for buckets {has split bench}
Tailgate has dent, and minor rust on bottom. Thing open and closes SMOOTH. Trim on bed sides had some dings, small dents. but nothing terrible.
Looks like the bed sides were possibly replaced at some point, but not sure.
Outter wheel houses are intact, but some rot at the very bottom. Rusted out where they are attached to the inside of the bed panels. Rockers appear to be pretty good, but has rot on very front, and very rear.
Car was originally some funky greenish color, by looking at the firewall, and inside. Was painted white.
Has a larger front sway bar, no rear bar.
Rear bumper is trashed, but bumper brackets look good out back.
Tail lights have pitting on molding, but ok on red plastic.
Wiring harness looks unhacks inside, but I don't know yet.
I didn't bother to see if a tilt column.
Front bumper looks good, except the top, towards the center/left very top, metal has some small dents?
Glass all is good, windows roll up and down smooth.
I plan on taking as much off this and rather quick like.
If you have anything in praticular, let me know. If sheetmetal, I will cut out any sort of panels/ areas you might need.
I honestly would prefer to sell the front clip minus the hood hinges complete. If you need the roof, let me know. Same goes if anyone might be interested in the rocker panels.
As far as the firewall, if anyone needs me to look at it, let me know.
As far as the bed area-I can chop the roof off and cut it across the floor pan.
I plan on pulling the wiring harness as complete as possible.
Email me or PM me.
I plan on starting in on this thing tomorrow, removing major parts, but as far as the bed area, if you guys need something, I need to know by probably Saturday. Not trying to rush, just don't want to upset my neighbors, and I don't want to have the city on me for having *yet another* parts car on a trailer in my driveway...lol...
