read this thread, sounds like 1973 ranchero = 1973 gran torino station wagon...but 1972's are different than 1973's. need to look at Ford master parts catalog or a 1973 tech service manual...
J.P. - The 1972 Torino wagon (type code 71) and 1972 Ranchero (Type code 97) share the same Frame - Ford P/N D20Z-5005-C. Not sure if any interchange on later model years. This info come from the 1972 edition of the Ford Master Parts catalog, so I gotta think it is valid info - Hope this helps - Ed
I doubt the frame from this Ranchero would work:

After reviewing the answers, looks like Agent2006 has a very plausible answer and the frame part number looks correct for the vintage.

Thnx all. Quite the contraption on the extended blue Ranchero. Not my style.
I have seen a Ranchero sitting on a 4x4 frame, not bad.
