Was looking at a local ad for a 73 Ranchero,$1500,almost went to see it,but the rust was to much,had the 351 Clevland.
Of all the American manufacturers, Ford had the most trouble with the 5 mph impact standard bumpers that were mandated in 1973. The new for 72 Ranchero was a pretty vehicle. For 73 and the years after that, not so much, to me at least.
My problem with them setting to long was field mice...
