    Hi,
    I'm James Roth. I have two 1963 Rancheros. I bought one from my Dad. It's a straight 6 automatic with 3 on the tree. The body panels look good, but there was a lot of rust underneath where the leafs mount. While looking for a parts car, I found another 1963 that restorations had started on. A kid and his father had put in a C4 tranny and rebuilt 351 Windsor. I bought the California car and shipped it to Maryland. Both need a lot of work. Sadly, I don't have a garage at this point. They have been sitting for a year. I really want to learn about them so I can get to work on them.

    My Dad has a 1960 that has a little V8 in it. He just had it painted. There are some trim pieces missing and window trim that he's looking for. Does anybody have a good source for this kind of part?

    Thanks, but no luck yet. I need a headlight bucket and trim parts for the bed trim.

    Wasn't sure what exactly you were looking for and if it was available as old stock or reproduction. You may be able to find the parts you need by posting in the parts wanted - a lot of our members have been through this and may either have sources or might have a parts car with what you need.
