Ranchero frame v/s Wagon frame

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Does anyone here know if a wagon frame is the same as a Ranchero frame? Not concerned about the front frame horns.

I have a PERFECT frame on the Ranchero I'm scrapping and will go to the effort of stripping/keeping it if this is so (since I have 2 wagons).

Thanks!

	Probably should be the same. According to Wikipedia they're the same wheelbase as the sedans/wagons

	it's been covered on Ranchero.US IIRC there's a difference with 1 or a couple of the mounts on one of the rear crossmembers but it's workable. maybe throw out a search over there... Edited by Rockatansky - 30-September-2013 at 12:08PM

	Great. Guess I will save it. The previous owner cleaned it well and installed new bushings within the last few years. Thanks guys.
