Nice Ranchero.

Are you going to add a shop sign to the doors? I think that would finish it up nicely.

Yes, Shaw Sign in Milford Ohio is doing that now...I own a Car Repair-Used car sales, in Hamilton, Ohio Lindenwald Auto, Sales and Service, was a Sunoco Station in 1939, and I am honoring that heritage of the orignial owners, the Hinkle Brothers.....Stay tuned...it WILL look killer...all Upgrades, T5 install, inside, ALL done for UNDER $1700 dollars......

"Tonneau".

It's French.

Actually, when I was a kid back in Columbus, someone advertised an El Camino with a "Tonto" cover in the Dispatch for sale classifieds. I have called it a tonto cover ever since.

Falconwagon62,
Great looking Ranchero. Your post brought back a lot of memories for me. My Grandfather had a similar Ranchero. It was white with a 3 on the tree and a straight 6. We would to go down to his little farm in it and "slop" the hogs. I can remember the car like it was yesterday. He had a little repair shop and would get unusual cars from time to time. How I would love to have that car now. He also had a very early IH Scout with the half cab (but that is a story for another forum).
Thanks for bringing back memories. Good luck with the build.

Got my T5, rebuilt by my club member Terry, going in next weekend.....

Nice little truck. Does the T5 help perk up the little 170 some?

chipndale63 06-30-2011 10:39 PM

Hey, Nice SIX-TWO! I just completed my '63. May be I can post a pic or two if I can figure out how.
