Hey everyone,
I'm on the hunt for a repl gate for my Ranchero. I have found a couple to go check out that are quite a ways away. Are all the gates the same for the 'Chero and wagons? 2 and 4 door?
1957-59? Thanks for your input!

57 and 58 are the same , ranchero and wagon 2dr or 4dr. The 59 is completely different.

Awesome! That helps me so much. Thanks for getting back so quickly.

Jazz...took this pic at Desert Valley Auto parts, their south yard about 6 weeks ago. I assume that's a ranchero tailgate leaning against the Ranchero.

It sure is. Nice catch! I will give them a call.

The 58 wagon has a different tailgate, it uses 4 lens like the sedans, ranchero is the same.  Mark

Just realized I never added them to our list of '57 salvage yards....will do it later. Their phone number to the Casa Grande lot where the pic was taken is 1-800-798-2465. Also www.dvautoparts.com, or www.azclassics.com

Very hard to find a rust free tailgate. The one I recently got for mine looked good until
sandblasted. Had to skin it from the handle down. So  b e aware :001:
I hate blocksanding!
