About: I HAVE BEEN RESTORING MY 1978 FORD RANCHERO FOR THE LAST YEAR. I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 1978 AND IT HAS BEEN THE BEST VEHICLE A PERSON COULD EVER OWN. IT HAS A 351/M WITH AIR CONDITIONING. I HAVE JUST REPLACED ALL OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION INCLUDING NEW SPRINGS, BUSHINGS, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS SHOCKS PLUS THE REAR SPRINGS, AIR SHOCKS AND SWAY BAR BUSHINGS. THE ORIGIONAL PAINT WAS SAND BLASTED TO BARE METAL AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS REPAINTED IN THE SAME SAPHIRE BLUE. I REPLACED THE FRONT CLIP WITH THAT OF A 1978 FORD THUNDERBIRD COMPLETE WITH VACUME OPERATED HEADLAMPS AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS. I HAD THE FLIGHT BENCH SEAT RECOVERED WITH OEM MATERIAL AND INSTALLED A NEW CARPET. THE ENGINE AND A LARGE PORTION OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS BEEN DETAILED AS ORIGIONAL AND THIS RANCHERO LOOKS LIKE IT JUST ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. IT IS THE RANCHERO THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE BUILT. I AM VERY PROUD OF HOW SHE LOOKS AND DRIVES AND WILL NEVER GIVE HER UP. I DRIVE HER TO WORK ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK TRYING TO RESTRAIN MYSELF BECAUSE THE VALUE OF THIS CAR IS INCREASING ALL THE TIME. ASIDE FROM WORKING ON MY RANCHERO, I ALSO HAVE A PONTIAC FORMULA FIREBIRD AND A HOUSE THAT CONSUME MOST OF MY FREE TIME. I WORK AS A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNICIAN FOR THE PHONE COMPANY.
