76 Ranchero GT, Worth the parts?
I just ran across a 76 Ranchero GT with a 460. It is complete, runs,good interior, power everything, good tailgate, body repairable, $400. Oh yea the frame is shot, rusted right through, rusted out spring hangers, spring came right through the bed.
I am thinking of dragging home and disassembling it so;
Is there anything particular to the GT models I want to make sure I keep?
What other years will the body parts fit onto?
Is the frame for this year the same as any other ford vehicle?
I have never owned a ranchero but always wanted one, pardon my newbie questions. I guess my real question is What do I do with it now?
Thanks in advance

Not sure about 76 ranchero. We have a 68 Ranchero GT. After 71 Ranchero's, were on larger frames like for a Ford Galixie or station wagon. Prior to 71 ranchero's were on Torino frames.
Gt's tend to have bucket seats instead of the bench seats, so you might want to keep the bench seat. Also GT's have special wheels and emblems. The chrome "Ranchero" lettering on the body is worth keeping. For more info on ranchero's try www.ranchero.us Those guys are just as helpful as they are here.
Good luck
