As far as I know there were only falcon rancheros in '64.

Re: ford ranchero suspension parts

The upper and lower control arms are the same. The center / drag  links are different as are the tie rod ends, idler arm and spindles. You can use an idler arm from a 65 Mustang if you use the Mustang frame bracket. The springs on the Falcon are shorter than the Mustang. The Faclon stocks are shorter and have a stud at the top instead of a T bar. The strut rods and strut rod bushings are the same. The spring perches are the same.

I have a lot of info about what can be adapted onto a Falcon if you want to send me an email or give us a call.
