All original green glass 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon. Replaced with a tinted repro. No cracks but normal wear for 60+years.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Progress on the 58. Thanks to all for the wheel advice. Went w 17x7 front and 17x8 rear.
Crazy Steve very nice radios at antique auto but wow the prices! Leadfooted what a great looking wagon! Hoping to get mine near that level!
Hey leadfooted lets see that wagon!
Hey there jalopy joker, I actually had one of those in my 59 Ranchwagon awhile back. Honestly, didn't really like it much. Felt cheap and kept...
I'm going to search for one similar to what ynottayblock posted
Makes perfect sense. I'm hoping I can rig the radio in a new glove liner somehow while keeping the passenger vent intact
!! The benefits of the vent seem to out weigh the radio in the glove box. Unless I can wizzard it somehow. Now another question; what is the...
Shit that's slick wizzard!
Manufacturer: Pioneer Item model number: MVH-X370BT Product Dimensions: 9 x 9 x 4 inches Ynottayblock, I actually did buy a non CD head unit...
Thanks guys. So if I remove it, I'll need to seal it. Probably best to keep it there and add an under dash kit?
im looking to replace the cardboard glove box with an aftermarket plastic full size glove box. I want to place an aftermarket radio in it but it...
Sounds good. I'm probably going to try a 17x7 front and a 17x8 rear wheel. Test fit some tires and see if my current suspension setup gives me the...
For the guys w same wheel size all around on your cars and wagons, are your rear wheels a wider width?
Hot rods look really good either way. That totally makes more sense to me now DeLuxe.
Definitely looking at a custom setup. Might take the advice of the majority and same wheel different tire size.
So for the wagon. Suggestions would be the same wheel size with a smaller tire up front. That should give it a subtle rake. Hot rods are the...
That skirt is teasing me!
Stumpy I like what you did there! HRP no doubt w that ride! So suggestions on my 58 Ranchwagon? I do really like the restomod vibe.
Thanks missysdad1. I'm curious as to why a lot of guys have a larger rear wheel?
i know most guys run a larger wheel in the back but was curious if anyone runs the same size wheel front and rear and stool achieve a nice rake?...
Definitely not a suspension guru by any means!! Does anyone know a ranchwagon w a 17 or 18" wheel? I've seen a few pics but never a contact...
Good call. Will definitely check
Wow Crazy Steve! This is GOLD!! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain everything. This helps so much.
Oh damn! Good call! I'm hopefully looking at a 17x7 w a 4" backspace torq thrust 2. I'd love to go 18 but it seems like that won't work without...
Ah man thanks so much for the info! That helps a lot
That's awesome thanks!!!
That's pretty much the stance and wheel I'm looking for! Thanks! Now to find out who owns it and what his setup is...
Thanks again. Any advice as to what and where to measure? Ideally my order of preference is wheel size (17 or 18) followed by tire size. Obviously...
That's really good info Crazy Steve thanks! So 16x7 w a 4" backspace is the safest bet. And if I were to go 17x7 with a 4" backspace I'll...
