Yeah. I own a '68 Ranchero 500. But nothing was based on or taken from the

Ranchero. The Ranchero was based on the Fairlane (except for those few
short 
sad years it was based on the Falcon and rendered basically useless as a 
truck). Nothing was taken from it to use in any other vehicle. It was a 
hybrid Fairlane with a truck bed slapped on the back of the unibody. In 
fact, the Ranchero 500 used Fairlane 500 door panels cut down to fit the 
shorter door. Ford didn't even bother to change the script from Fairlane
to 
Ranchero.
