I need the 46.5" chrome strip for the drivers door on my 57 Ranchero. I also need a heater core with associated hardware. If you can help please advice. Many thanks, SyrFish
Go to the Home Page......Look for General Category......4th item down is '57 Ford Parts and Service..... Open it up and scroll down to Kansas. Call Roger........He has a lot of '57 Fords. I would speculate that he would have a heater core as well.Nice guy to deal with. If he does not have it look up the yard in Sunset Texas. He has some '57's
I believe I'm correct in saying that the trim you need is also on 2 Door Sedans, Wagons,Sedan Deliveries, and Rancheros. If I'm wrong on that, someone will correct it.
Good luck with the search!

John, I'm laughing because we BOTH should know this, but I don't. I think the trim is different for Rancheros, but not sure. MY memory sucks.
Syrfish, I may have one taken off a Ranchero door. I'll check later today. Oddly enough the door was taken off a Ranchero at Roger's place in Kansas that John mentioned.
The door trim is the same for the 2dr custom 300- Ranchero- 2dr Del Rio wgn.
I sent a PM to SyrFish about the heater core. I have a spare core but it will need a new control valve.
I won't be home until the middle of next week and believe I have one off this 300. It's going back w/o any chrome, leaded head lights and tail lights w/ 95 Mustang 302HO roller cam w/5sp. If you don't find one PM to remind me too look.20250415_142959.jpg
Looks like you have a 58 roof on it.
58 roofs have ribs.
Yes, that's right the picture shows 7 ribs on the roof just like a 58.
Enlarge the photo and you can see the ribs.
Edd505.........any story behind the '58 roof?

Good catch, it is a 58 by vin with the 57 clips.

Not really I bought it as a 57 and checked the VIN that says 58. This was a project that had been started when I bought it and I had not noticed the top until I got it into my shop then checked the VIN. I was going to use it for parts for the green one in the back ground.

Have you found the door strip, I'm home and can check if you have not found one.
