Here is parts car #2. Soon to be place in dumpster. I removed the quarter you see there. It was about the only thing good on the whole car. Once again, your 71 Chero just got that much more rare. You are welcome!

This trans cooler is actually an oil cooler from a new Dodge Dakota. It's weird how nicely it fits in a 33 year old Ranchero. Finally, Dodge got something right.

I pulled off the shock access panel in the bed to find,...no rust whatsoever. All you guys that have spent days and days fixing the rust that always grows here can bitch me out. I deserve it. HA! Look, it even has the original plastic hole plugs. Fre...

Not a bad looking car. If it's dark out. And you are drunk. And you are used to looking at rusty Pinto's.

This is where it lives. I haven't seen this floor in a long time. It's hard to believe a Ranchero fits in there amongst the tools, welder, air compressor, spare parts and the wifes mini van (guess which one I think needs to go).
