The ranchero never stayed with one plateform, they were fairlanes, falcons, torinio's and LTD II's.

No kidding Wendell, really? :)

1957/59's were full sized Ford's.

1960/66's were Falcons.

1967's were Fairlanes.

1968/70's were Fairlanes or Torino's.

1971/76's were Torino's.

1977/79's were LTD II's.

Okay Have to ask. With the auto makers the way they are why would it not be a good idea to save cost by interchanging platfroms with vehicles of the same weight class. And realy. How many light trucks (s-10s, rangers, etc.,) actualy see work in commercial applications. Heck it's even getting hard to find 1/2 ton's in that line of work. When it's siad and done 98% of the time the bed is only removed on a truck to replace it with a industry specific bed.
