I have bought this detail set from MCG to my Ford Fairlane, but there are parts for an Ranchero also.
My question is which AMT Ranchero is the details  suitable for??

Thank you!
That was what I thought, but I was a little confused about the years, when the Fairlane was a `57.

This was probably meant for the AMT Fairlane and the old Revell '57 Ranchero based on the modified Country Squire, the Country Squire itself, plus the resin '57, '58 and '59 Country Sedan. The Ranchero emblems on the Falcon-based cars are much smaller than the ones seen on this fret, so possibly only the cow's head tailgate emblems would be usable on the '60-'61. There are nameplates and the hood shield emblem for the Revell '59 Skyliner as well.

It's indicated on the sheet that this set is for AMT 1/25 Scale Kits. If this set were meant to be used on kits from another manufacturer, it would say so like here.

Model Car Garage in their usual fashion includes script emblems for every available model of the car the detail set are for, you also have the emblems for Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan and Country Squire and AMT has never done them in kit form.
But the MCG sets can be adapted for other kit makers than stated, I have used a detail set meant for the Revell 55 Chevy on an AMT kit and it worked well with a couple of small modifications.

Thank you again for that information.
Sorry for late answer.
I have to look around and see what I can find.
