looks like 67 ranchero but abit different
also resembles a fairlane
makes no sense to me here in england!! DOH!
and i need to id this truck and get some pics for ideas so any/all help welcome
CHEERS

If you post some pics if possible it would help no end. In the mean time, is there an id plate and if so what does it say (chassis/engine no's, codes, etc) and where is it located in the engine bay? Do you know what year it is?

Certainly sounds like a Falcon ute with a Fairlane front (the stacked headlight part). Aussie Fords were exported to the UK in the era, and the panel swap could have easily been done in the years since.

hi outback thanks for the help the car isnt here but the id tag is at the top right corner of bulkhead looking from front under hood it says falcon but thats all i now
also its registered 70/71 but not sure if thats its year or year of import

XY (XY was '71, right?) ute with a ZC or ZD Fairlane front end... possibly even a Galaxie front end... it's a fairly common swap - i've seen a few around - looks great!

hi there blacksnake thanks for the input so u have seen 1 b4??? great what do u think did they look any good? have u any pictures? are there really a few of them around? maybe to make them look similar to the 67 ranchero? if u go to the utes forum theres a long thread there with a bad picture of this 1 take a look and see what u think but i can tell u it looked a lot better in the flesh
thanks again

yeah mate - caught the thread in the ute forum just after i posted...

plenty of Falcon (standard sedan/ute) ute's around with Fairlane/LTD (top of the line long-wheelbase barge) front ends and interiors... they were a bolt-up swap from the late 60's, and i believe they still are... have only seen one of your vintage (XY), and it looked great - i'm a big fan of the stacked headlights...

Never seen a '67 Ranchero, but it definately does make the car look more American.

a 351 or 302 Cleveland could well be the running gear from the donor Fairlane, haven't seen an awful lot of stock V8 utes around, although they definately exist.

SOunds like a great find, especially in England... Enjoy it!
