Title: QUESTION FOR RANCHERO OWNERS
Post by: wildhog on 2009-03-10 22:57
HAVE ANY OF YOU RANCHERO  OWNERS EVER SEEN THE REAR UPPER CORNERS OF THE BED TRIM STAMPED OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL, LIKE THE OTHER PIECES OF THE TRIM? MOST YOU SEE ARE RUSTY OR HAVE BEEN RECHROMED. I HAVE ONE SIDE IN STAINLESS, BUT CAN'T FIND THE OTHER SIDE. I HADE A PAIR OF STEEL ONES CHROMED , BUT THEY ARE A LOT SHINER THAN THE REST OF THE MOULDINGS. THANKS TOM

Tom,
I've had several and all were chrome plated steel. BTW your Ranchero is looking GOOD. How big is
the Stroker?
  Thanks again for the speedometer.
Ron
