    Might have scored! The site has an inventory doc with the Ranchero part number.

    Here's the main site:

    Here's the doc file (word format) (Ford models):

    The site pics don't load - poorly made site

    Got the windshield situation figered out. New windshield (hopefully the correct one) was shipped from SoCal yesterday.

    Feller is gonna send me packing slip for the wrong winder so ups or Fedex can pick it up. was hoping to have the Ranchito ready to roll for Vintiques this weekend. Not gonna happen unfortunately. Oh well. All I can do is laugh.

    Thanks Norm.
    Yeah, the windshield is the last piece of the puzzle. Hope to have it in next week.

    Well, we were gone to the coast for the weekend (Fri-Tues), so naturally the windshield showed up while I was away.

    Scheduled to be installed 8:00 tomorrow morning.
    By God it better be the right one this time.

    The feller at the Upholstery shop called me Thursday evening last week to say he needed the room Friday morning for another car. (was nice of him to wait until closing Thurs. evening) So before we left town I had to run down there with the truck and trailer and bring it home. I shouldn't complain too much, he did an excellent job.

    Took these pics last night. A bit of "progress".
    Will get some of the interior, bumpers etc tonight.

    Got the shinny new bumpers installed tonight. Was dark by the time I finished, so didn't take any pics. Had my right hand man "helping" me. He enjoyed putting the carriage bolts in (and then taking them back out:))
