Default My Model A Parts Getter
See the below link. Alot different than rebuilding a Model A.

It was my grandfather's truck. Info. on the net indicates it is 1 of approx. 135 '63 Falcon Rancheros with 260 V8 and 4 speed transmission.

note: The guy in the first photo is my cousin Ted, who helped in getting the truck from California to Texas.

Nicely done! Very cool and unique pickup! Even better that it has a story and has been in the family since new.

Growing up, my family always seem to have had a falcon at one time or another. Love those cars/trucks

A pair of Texas "nads" hangin' from the pumkin would be the finishing touch, just kidding. Thanks for posting, top notch craftsmanship indeed.

I had a black 6 cyl Ranchero many years ago. Loved it's size and ease of operation. Unfortunately the Maibne winter salt took it down before it's time. Beautiful job on yours.

Nicely done , I remember seeing a solid 63 ranchero in Ga. when I was in the military for only 300 dollars and very solid . I wish I had gotten it .

I agree, that was a beautiful restoration job.

Is that your own rotisserie?
I'd like to have one if I had the room.
