Why do you need/want to change the plates? When I put lowering blocks in my former '63 Comet, for some reason, and I don't remember because it was 10 years ago, the stock plates did not work and I had to use an extra set of '64-5 Falcon or Mustang plates I had. Please keep us updated on your project!

When I put in the 9" I had to make new plates for the lower since the 9" already had different style mounting gussets on it. I also thought that I could make new upper mounts and change the angles of the shocks to provide more stability and better ride. I did get better handling out of it but it was still pretty soft. Now I want to go back to the stock shock locations but I must have thrown away or left my old plates at my parents house (which is 625 miles south of me) and I cannot just pop in to search for them... I did find a set from a 64-66 Mustang that are going to work great.

How did you change the upper mounts? I know they're pretty weak, but with the crossmember where it is changing the location would be a pretty extensive job.

Don't know if you/d be interested in a canopy for Ranchero. I've had it laying around for a few years. It's in great shape I'll make you a killer deal. 425-481-1502 or cell 206-999-4263 Dave

I built some upper mounts and tied them to the main upper mounts but had them facing the rear of the car. So far no damage to the body but I can forsee damage if I really use it to haul things. Now I am going back to the stock locations.
