Was going to get a 57 Ranchero earlier this week, decided against it then went for a look today. Hagerty value doesn't have Ranchero listed. Going by Hagerty condition this Ranchero would be a #4. Where can I find a value for this or can anyone give me a rough value on it?

planning on going to pickup a 57 Ranchero tomorrow. Gen doesn't work or at least red light is on. If I remember right from years ago if you run a generator not working it would ruin it. If that is right could I disconnect wires and be OK? Or would that gen have a dedicated belt and I could...

Got it out. Someone sent a PM to use a punch or nail and drive it out from back side. It worked.

Good idea, Here is a photo

OK, I guess I don't understand. The rod that goes up through the carb body that the linkage connects to has 3 holes in it. One on the bottom and the linkage sticks through 1 side and pokes out a little on the other side. I have cleaned the carb body good as well as put PB Blaster all on and...

1950 V8 RTH engine. I have taken the carb. apart but can't get the little short linkage to the accelerator pump off, therefore I can't remove the pump. How do I get it off?

Thanks very much. I sure didn't know about the positive ground.

I just got it today and moved it (pulled) about 3 miles to a safe keeping place until I can get a trailer to move it on home. I couldn't read tag on drivers side firewall. Tag in glove box reads Engine # 98RTH 308915 Series F-6 Model 9R-TH. On rt. head is cast 8B9 forgot to look at left head...

Let me clarify my wants. I want seat covers that look like those old seat covers. Don't need to be NOS, actually rather not be NOS because I'm sure after all this time they wouldn't hold up good. Does anyone make them now?

Back in the day dealers would put seat cover over the seats. These were solid vinyl on top of back and front of seat with a woven vinyl in between. Can you get these anywhere?

Remember what he said, it is never out of gear

I am a retired commercial driver, won't name company. If you got rear ended, most of the time company made it a chargeable accident and it went against your safety record. When I tell people this they say WHAT. Company says you got rear ended because you were following too close and had to...
