66 Ranchero *****

Can anyone recall if the original ***** in the Ranchero were black plastic or chrome. My radio and headlight ***** are black. Can't find a lighter ****. Ken

Just looked and my headlight **** and lighter are black on the OD with a chrome center. Can't tell you about the radio *****, they are in a different storage area (Ihope).

Thanks Dave. I thought as much. Radio ***** are same style. Does your lighter **** screw off ? I have found some Ford ***** are not detachable. Do you happen to have a spare? Ken

I haven't gone out and checked if it screws off or not. First day all week with no rain and finally above 70 degs - that means mowing the big yard and painting fence. Did a quick look at Dearborn Classics and they have nothing, even for the '67'' Fairlanes. Sounds like going to be a fun search maybe.

The lighter **** was only sold with the element, was not available by itself.

Only the element was available by itself. To remove the element from the ****, hold the element with one hand, unscrew the **** with the other.

Wasn't the 66 Rancheros the same as the 65-66' F-100s ? Black ***** with chrome trims with the word 'lighter'. on it. The ***** do unscrew pretty easy, at least the ones I have do. The element usually burn out. Most were actually used. Go figure.

So, not only are the ***** different but so are the elements. The trucks have a white insert in the ****, the Falcon **** insert is chrome. The Mustang **** is all chrome.

Me thinks your memory is on the "fritz!"
