    Looking for a 9 inch

    ALL the 57-59 fairlane, galaxie rears are a direct bolt in for the 65,66 mustang. the only difference are the u bolts, and shock plates(been there, done that) why would a ranchero be any different than a passenger car, anyway? they were nothing more than a topless wagon, which was a 4 door with...

    Looking for a 9 inch

    60ish? not 100 percent sure when the change took place, but the ranchero went to a falcon platform around that time. for the 57-59 rear, it doesnt have to be a ranchero.. fairlanes, galaxies, mercurys, and even the lowly edsel should be looked at as a donor...mine came from a 292 galaxie (2.90...

    correct PPG paint code for engine bay 1969 mach1?

    it is not going to be the color code, (black is pretty much black) but the degree of flatness... i would say take a good, color picture of what you feel the engine bay should look like to your paint supplier, and have him mix up a single stage urethane with the proper flattener mixed in.from...

    It's time for new paint! Just need help with color.

    for silver, look at mercedes... the "silber" they are currently using really nice on a flat paneled car, like a stang (my buddy just did a 67 nova in it) as far as red goes, the new 'vette red would be my choice
