My X Bro in Law died and I somehow ended up with his 61 Ranchero. It had been parked in his garage since 1991. He wanted to fix the window so it would roll up. Well he sanded a little , started "storing" some stuff in the back, and before too long the car could hardly be found amungst the garage junk. He got sick and the cancer spread quickly. may he RIP.

Anyway, I cleaned up some wiring and fuel issues and drove it home. The window still doesn't roll up. I am begining to see that this is a rare find. To my wife, however it is just more junk in a yardfull!

So here we are posting and researching this great little truck. I wonder how many there are in existence?

 

welcome to fte! post away and let us know what you want to do to it. one of the chero guy's will be along and help you out with the numbers question.

 

Welcome, thats a good user name. I would assume it means this is not the only jewel in the fleet. I've been hanging around here for a few years now but only recently been checking this forum because I got a 63 for my B'day from my wife. This forum does move a little slower than some of the other ones but if your patient the info is always good. Welcome again, Rich.

 

another good site with a wealth of info on the falcon based ranchero is www.tffn.net over 2700 registered falcon owners.

 

Sounds like a good project 'Chero, and really lousy circumstances to get it. My condolances on the loss. RIP. Anybody with a Ranchero must of been a good man....
