I always thought that the ranchero was built on the falcon platform up till 1967 when they changed it to the fairlane platform. If they did make a 63 fairlane ranchero it would be interesting to see, and more than likely to be pretty rare as the only ones I can find for sale are all falcon rancheros. _________________ 66 hardtop downunder

There are NO American built 63' Fairlane Rancheros.

The first vehicle to resemble a Ranchero was in fact made in Australia, see like below. Ford made the first prototype in 1956, which then went into production in 1957. I saw one of the 56's on ebay about a year ago for sale. This was just called a "Ranchero". In 1962 thru 1966 it was based upon the Falcon platfrom and was called a "Falcon Ranchero". In 67; as stated above, went to the Fairlane. When Torino's came about it went to that, can't remember the year. Rod in Vegas.
1932 First utility vehicle called the UTE. A precursor to the Ranchero.

63 ranchero
I agree it would be a cool little truck - 63 ranch wagon would be a logical starting point.
