I am selling my 66 bronco U15. Hard for me to put this up for sale and I may change my mind. This isn't a 66 for the purist. It has had parts swapped from newer vintage broncos. Some by me, some by the previous owners. It is a project but would take very little to make it a driver again.
- It would require installing the front dress on the engine, either the original or I have a lot of parts for the explorer serpentine set up.
- Install a gas tank, I have the original and a new 23 gal.
- Install some seats, I have a set of used seats out of a 76 bronco.
Body,
Body is in ok condition. It looks pretty good as it is but someone before me did some work. The front floor boards are patched and there are signs of some bondo. The paint job is something cheap and when I repainted the doors I was able to match the color but not the texture really closely using tan spray paint. There is currently a small dent in the hood.
The striker side of the door posts have rot but function fine. The hinge side seem solid but I had to drill and tap the door hinge plates with larger bolts to hang the doors.
I sanded down and spray painted the top black and replaced all the window seals. There is a hole in the top from someone having an antenna run through it maybe.
It has the doors with the removable window frames and they look good inside and out with a small ding in one side. The arm rests are missing.
- The first month that I owned this bronco I hit a deer. I have a picture of the damage. It was repaired at a professional shop. I know that the radiator support was straightened and the driver side inner fender/apron was straightened.
Interior,
The interior had some kind of racing seats but I removed them. I do have front and rear seats out of a 76 that are not bolted down. They have the original covers on them and are dirty. The shifter was moved to the floor. It looks like most everything else is there minus the seat belts and it has an aftermarket radio in the dash and an aftermarket center console.
Mechanical,
Prior to starting a couple of projects I drove this bronco all the time. It ran good, shifted good and 4wd worked fine also.
It has a V8 in it not sure but I believe it to be a 302 and a 3spd with the shifter moved to the floor.
Manual steering.
Small bearing 9 inch and a dana 30 front diff. Both with drum brakes.
I installed vacuum power brakes.
It has some suspension lift and I installed a 1 inch body lift. It has 31-10.50 R15 cooper discover MT with good tread on them.
Current status of projects.
There is no gas tank. I have the original and also an after market 23 gal. I installed a low pressure pump in the tank.
The front dress is off the engine. I have the explorer timing cover and H20 pump installed and I think I have the brackets for the rest of the front dress from an explorer. No alt. or power steering pump.
I also have all the old parts if you wanted to install the old front dress.
There are no seats installed but I have factory seats from a 76.
Extras,
- 23 gal tank. It is the style that mounts with unistrut. Also original tank. There is surface rust on the outside of the tank, Inside looks good.
- Big bearing 9 inch housing, 3rd member and axles. Maybe the drum brake backing plates. Has limited slip. Out of a 76 bronco
- Dana 44 complete with disc breaks. Out of a 76.
- NV 3500. I bought this from a guy who claimed to have bought it refurbished. No shifter.
- Power steering box from a 76.
- I have a second top that is in very rough shape.
Not interested in splitting stuff up. PM me your email for pics. If you are serious I can take more if you would like. The price is OBO but I will not agree to a price unless you come see it in person. You can also e-mail me directly at hitchme34@yahoo.com
