Rory,

Quite possibly.
The 1968 Ford Ranchero had '3' different grilles, depending on the Model.

The previous posted brochure is for the 1969 Models (which I will correct).

The GT's are easy to tell apart.
The 68' Ranchero GT had a 'GT' emblem in the grille-center.
The 69' Ranchero GT had a 'GT' emblem on the left side of the grille,
closer to the driver side headlights.

But the Base Ranchero and Ranchero 500 are similar for the 68' and 69' Models, with only
slight differences.

Also, the 68' Ranchero brochures never offered up the 428 Cobra-Jet engine as a
package, though it was available after April 1, 1968.

The 68' Ranchero brochure (with the 'GT') lists the 390/325 HP as biggest engine option available in the December 1967 brochure.

Good 'pick-up' Rory.......
