    So I'm building a new instrument panel and I figured while I'm at it I would do the passenger side too.

    What I'm looking for is a measurements (Height & Length) of the "Ranchero" quarter panel script from 60 - 69 and maybe even newer. I want to see if there is enough room on the panel above the glove box to put this emblem on instead of the block letter "Ranchero 500". The end product(s) will be wrapped in 3M DI-NOC "Bubinga Wood" vinyl.

    Any help appreciated in advance!!

    Cheers,

    Doc

    As we delve into the gutter..... does anyone happen to have the measurements for the script where the "R" curls back around as opposed to the straight one like BB's?

    Cheers,

    Doc

    Hi Doc , the script on my 66 looks like you describe. Have a look in a Macs catalogue or on line . If the 66 one is what you want then the measurements are as I posted.
    Hope this helps , Denis.

    Hey Denis,

    I was wondering if there was a secret Scooby Aussi-Kiwi Ute badge for a 66 that didn't follow American badging when you said it looked just like BB's.. So your 66 "R" curls around towards the end? You really need to figure out pics :p

    Cheers,

    Doc

    Cheers,

    No special badging , I imported mine from Ohio so it’s a US model.
