You can get rockers from LMC, browns of 2 rivers, Holley, or classic industries. They are all the same quality from what I’ve heard. I’ve had my LMC rockers/cab corners on my truck for 5 years and they are in great shape still.

Ooo! Nice Ranchero! Favourite body style of the Falcons.
Buddy bought a '62 semi-complete project years ago. We all told him not to, being an ultra-low production body style + a Ranchero to boot.
Even though he hot rodded it, it still took him a lot of years to track down nice trim & rust-free body parts. Especially the stainless box trim, front fenders & a tailgate.
He bought a 2dr wagon for parts but it was too nice to part out. When the Ranchero was done, he built that too.
Some guys are suckers for punishment! Lol!

Used to go to 192 & 24th of Friday nights.
Gonna pull up something from the past amd share some OT info.

Little known fact, they didn’t make many of them in the USA, but they made a bazillion of them for 30 consecutive years at the Ford of Argentina plant. down there they were considered a large car, the equivalent of a grand marquis or crown Vic to us.

they had about 3 generations cosmetically with the early ones being identical to the us models, and then several nose and deck changes ultimately Ending up with flush rectangular headlights and taillights like any other late 80s ford product, but the doors, glass, and unibody and suspension was still 1963 falcon. Our brand new 88 even still came on bias ply tires. C1391555 was our plate number, lol.

lots more wagons and rancheros down there too, might be a good source for parts for someone!
