Dagnabit! If you *weren't* so far away from me (I live out in NE Colo.)and I wasn't so short of time I'd *love* to get my hands on that Dagenham equipt Ranchero! I've got one sitting out in my storage shed that someone cratered the Dagenham and then went and bastardized an automatic in it's place. Aside from that `minor?' problem everything else on it is `cherry' and I could use yet another '63 Ranchero in my fleet. (4 '63 Rancheros, 1 '63 Falcon Station Wagon, 1 '63 Falcon Sedan Delivery, 1 '63 Falcon Futura Sport Coupe, and then there are my wife's '63 Fairlanes. {BSE GRIN!}) The *only* problem with having a `Dagenham equipt' Ranchero without the Dagenham *and* one with is that since they are both `cherry' [Yeah... One *could* quibble that the one with the cratered tranny *isn't* `cherry'.] is that I hate the thought of partsing out the one to keep up the other. Now if I had a third... Nah... I'd probably feel the same way.... {CHORTLE!} Oy! What webs we weave.
