This manual is a licensed, professional quality reprint of the body section of the 1957 Ford Truck Shop Manual. If you already have the full 1957 Ford Truck Shop Manual, you do NOT need this book. The reason this book is offered is that for the 1957 Ranchero, you need the car shop manual for most repairs, but the body of the Ranchero is covered in the truck manual. This book gives you just the body section without the rest of the book, which is ideal for Ranchero owners. The body repair also covers other trucks, so if you want only the body section for trucks, you can use this book as well. As a bonus, we have included a couple of service bulletins about Ranchero bodies.
Contents include:
- General maintenance
- Body tune-up
- Eliminating Rattles
- Interior and Exterior cleaning
- Construction details and sealer application
- Undercoating
- Door replacement and alignment
- Door locks
- Hood
- Grille
- Front fenders
- Door trim panels and headlining
- Seats
- Vent Windows

In addition to the body repair manual, we have included two Ranchero-specific body service bulletins. in the bulletins, you will see a rework for Rancheros built prior to February 1957 to prevent water leaks, with illustrations of plugs and sealant. You also find out how to remedy tailgate rattles.
