Sure, I will check later when I have my computer.  Off the top of my head, the front will fit for sure, but not 100% sure on the rear.

Very nice set, and these are unobtainium, but wow that price is very high. Someone needs to repop these.

I believe they will work on the 72-76 Ranchero also, the rear quarter panel openings are supposed to be identical for all models. I learned that while buying the short rear wheel well trim for mine, the wide side molding type.

According to the Master Parts Catalog, the Ranchero uses a different part number for the rear fender lip moldings for the cars versus the Ranchero.

Re-chroming is quite expensive based on what I've seen recently.

I know the originals from the factory were anodized aluminum but chrome would look nice.

I have purchased a couple of items from this seller in the past, he seems to have a decent parts supply of Gran Torino parts.

Try to find that trim used but in sound shape. There is a seller on eBay in CA who still does excellent work repairing all of that type of aluminum trim. He has someone local to him that polishes it, and that's how he sells it. I have most all of the window trim from him, the wide side moldings, and my bed trim besides the two long pieces. I'm expecting to regularly treat the raw polished trim to protect it.

I still have the front pair of trim for a 72, from my red Sport front end. They need a little work and polishing, I hadn't planned to send them to the eBay seller unless I am sending him some other pieces too.
