64 Ranchero Frame specs

My 1964 Ranchero was backed into a tree and the body shop says they need the frame specs. Any one know where I can get them????

'64 might be a bit tough.... You would probably need to find an old body shop that still has the books or microfiche files.... doubt the would appear on many of the software programs the shops use now...... Let me check with a friend of mine who has a shop, see if he has them stilll.

what exactly are they looking for?? if they want the dimensions so they can put it on a rack, i have a 65 service manual, it is the same as the 64. the 64 rancher does not have a full frame. it is a unibody car.

The 64 Falcon / Comet shop manual has all the specs and dimensional information you are needing. These are available in reproduction. The 65 manuals (which include Mustang) will have the exact same info. The 65's might be easier to find since the Mustang is included.
Good luck,

No luck on the book for your Ranchero, looks like Roger has come up with a good idea on ordering a manual for it....

I've got the 64 and 65 shop manuals at home as well as some more publications that might have it. Email me or PM me and I'll try to find the info.

I am usually in the 99 - 03 Powerstroke forum, but I also lurk here since I have a 64 Falcon Convertible with a five bolt 289, a Wedge Co Scattershield, Toploader w/ Hurst, and 9".
