    "ranchero"<wik1215@yahoo.com>I was wondering if anyone knew or have seen this type of ranchero body. it should be a 1957 because of the headlights. but the back glass, and metal behind the seat that flows to the truck bed is curved. Also, the one pice trim comes from the back fin and then curves upward and stops at around the door post. i hope you guys know what style/model this is, because ive never seen it before. sincerely, billy k.

    im all about customizing, but it seems really weird. the side trim is odd also. trying to decide at this point if im even going to mess with it? thanks again

    Unless you have some pretty deep pockets I would stay away.

    yeah. it looks like somebody chopped a ranch wagon up. definitely tell now because of the side moldings. they should have left it alone.

    looks like the mystery is solved. man, i wish they had left it alone. ive talked to mack waugh(super nice guy) about some of his ranchero stuff, but he seems unsure to sell. ill try him one more time. i have a 1940 chev special deluxe, and a chev 1950 fleetline fastback in the wings, so i quess i can make one of those happen if nothing else

    The white one looks like a 55 Crestliner body style or even 54. No 57 fins on it. Am I missing something.
