Street freak 65 ranchero

i've been snooping around this forum for a few years now and thought it may be time to share my project. This is my first major project that involved suspension work. so go easy on me.

i picked this little ranchero off of cl mid last summer. traded a 84 corvette for it and have never looked back once. I then got it running and decided that it need to be an attention houd and that a gasser would be the raddest setup. two model t's sold and a speedway axel bought here we are. knee deep in gasser glory

 

a few more pics

 

a little rust repair in the rear sub frame

 

good thing tha block is gold now hate the corp. ford blue

 

????????????

 

I never liked fords dark blue always seem 80s to me

 

nice work...

 

Looking good. Keep us posted ........

 

my buddies old car back in the day ! 67 i believe when pics were taken , 427 in it

 

Fuck yes! Always wanted to build a straight axle Ranchero

 

I think the blocks were black and valve covers, oil pan, air cleaner were gold?

Anyway, I like the build.......

 

Looks like a good start! Deep into a Falcon now myself. Didn't like the Ford blue either, so I'm going black on my 454.

 

Very cool Build keep the pics coming

 

Yup! Subscribed!

 

Kool as hell.

thanks for the rad words on the project. i dont have alot to report on the little chero today i am waiting on springs for the rear, and then we will be looking into a set of ladder bars. any suggestion or comments on the ladders would be rad. any more pictures of the mr. B ranchero? ore even some history of how it came to be would be cool!
