The Ford Ranchero came first. The Chevy El Camino was a couple years later, as I recall, but I'd have to look it up.

''Yeah, Holden, Ford, Toyota and a few more... it's what we call a Ute. (short for Utility)''

no, be he said a few more, and you said the ford Ranchero was the only one ... and just want to say my question was legitim I knew there was El camino in the US but didn't know if they got imported from other countries or sold in the US.

I just remember the Ranchero and the Chevy El Camino’s in the mid 70s. A car front end and interior with a shallow bed at the rear. Did any other manufacturers make something similar?

I thought it was pretty obvious.
Apparently I was mistaken.

Here's a picture of my recent [incomplete-TBD] discovery. For reference, the dog is about 95 lbs. There was very little plastic showing initially. What appears now is from tugging it up out of the ground (before I ripped out as much as I could). Again, there's still plastic down below, under a medium-sized tree root (tree just out of frame to the left). Low probability that this was something that was swallowed up by the earth: plastic was still pretty pliable- if it had been initially laying on the surface it likely would show signs of being broken down by UV (not that the suns shines a lot here, but still). At one time there was 9'+ tall grass and brush here: I've been cleaning/mowing for about 10 years now (and never saw any indication of this before recently). When you're out in the woods/brush and chuck something out I'm not thinking that one would usually wrap things up and bury: other buried crap I've found, around the house area, wasn't wrapped. Maybe some 700' away from the house. Leaving this as a cliff-hanger (not sure in what future "season"/"episode" I'll dig up the mystery) I'd also not want to discover any bones! (there's a song with the appropriate title: "Let The Mystery Be")

The dog looks guilty.

The dog looks guilty.

She does that with anything that she thinks she's found (and actually found). It's kind of a: "Well, are YOU going to do something about this?"
