Welcome to the forum! A '72 Ranchero must be a rare site in New Zealand.  Even though it's from the US, do you call the Ranchero a Ute? What engine does it have?  Post some pics, we'd love to see it.  Here is a how to thread:

So here goes,will attempt to put up some phots of the 72 Ranchero,351,column auto.Pulling apart for complete rebuild.I am a panelbeater and so far I have rebuilt the doors,de-skinned them,fixed the rust and re-fitted the skins,de-skinned the tailgate and made a new lower repair panel ,fixed the rust in the tailgate frame then re-fitted the skin,fixed one fender,removed the inner frame to fix the rust and re-spotted it on.Today I have pulled the interior out and the dash and steering etc,heater,and will put on rotissirie this week to get it sandblasted.Floors dont look to bad but will need some bits made up and I will remove the floor braces before blasting.
