Ranchero on the road today

[Frankenstein57]

Took my 58 ranchero on its first ride today, I'm extremely pleased with the initial feel of this car! I've been going over this car for two years now, and its cool to go through the gears. Ran good,no leaks, torino spindles and disc brakes worked fine. Don't like the cheap chinese shifter I got with it, I picked up a hurst mystery shifter on ebay, so that has to go in.Never had a y-block, pulls nicely. Not sure what size it is, I looked on the link that James posted, couldn't match the numbers. Above the oil filter on the DS is  B9AE 6015F  on the other side by the starter is OG7  and an upside down 27  . Anyone know how to remove cheap undercoating/ bedliner?  The bed is covered in it, looks cheap. Maybe if its not raining Sunday I'll bring it home, cheers    Mark

B9AE indicates a 1959 engine casting. They are good ones. Usually 292
