Ford FalconFord Falcon - With standard features such as the exhilarating 6-cylinder Barra 182 engine, Control Blade IRS (sedan only), Sequential Sports Shift (on the optional automatic transmission) and an Intelligent Safety System which boasts a multitude of advanced safety features, the Falcon XT is not only a driver's car. It's also a car that the whole family can enjoy.
There is some fairly significant rust in the bed in my '65 Ranchero. Any suggestions on how to deal with this and any ideas on where replacement sheet metal could be found?
Early Falcon/Cpmet station wagons. Except for the right rear (where the spare tire is stored in the wagons) the Ranchero is is fact a station wagon body without the roof.
But the wagon floor and side panels "should" have less rust (don't come to Ohio looking for rust free wagons, we haven't seen one since 1967!)
Believe it or not this is why the Aussies buy "vans" (their name for the "sedan delivery" and remove the roofs in order to obtain rust free ute beds. Both cars use the same body panels.
