Well I finally got the frame inside the Ranchero today.
It fit just like a glove, thanks to measuring ten times and cutting once.
I’ve got the cab all welded in on both sides, but I have to do some
welding in the back of the car tomorrow.
Then I can cut out the wall behind the cab and the dash.
I also have to fix the back half of the door jam on the passenger side.
Then lots of sheet work to be done along with lower rear skins on both sides.
I was afraid the seat would fall out because the floor was so rusted out.
With all the cross members going every which way there was no way the
seat would have ever fallen out. I think they could have made the car lighter
if they would have just put a solid frame in it.
Thanks Guys for all your help and answering all my stupid questions.
More pictures to come soon.
