If it's a thread that deals with a 1966 Bronco, as far as details, quirks, oil baths, oddities, deletes, threads with original pics, 66' restorations that we can use for references, etc............ I've tried to find some major ones and list them here. If you see a thread I've missed, post it up so I can add it, thanks.
I'm sure I've probably missed some restoration back to original threads, post them up if I missed you. Hopefully it will be a continuous project, adding things as we come across them. It will be nice to have all/most of this info under one roof! ;D
If you've got an original or restored to original, post up some pics........we can't have enough reference pics IMO!!!

Hub Cap Threads
If you're looking for 66' hub caps, and you question whether the front caps are legit Bronco caps or cut Mercury, look at the tabs on the back. Bronco caps will have the tabs in sets of 3, whereas the Mercury caps will have tabs evenly spaced all the way around. Bronco front hub cap is below.

Yes, thanks a lot for that okie! This is what I've been talking about for many of the other subjects too, but have never gotten around to. Or has anyone else for that matter!

Sometimes it'd be nice to just have a thread that lists everything you need to know, but sometimes it's just better to have a link to all the different discussions. Since some of those discussions get on side subjects that are related as well, they're a good source of info.

Thanks again.

Paul

Question for the internet guru's, I want each link I've posted above to say what's in the link, instead of just having to click a blind link?

At the top of the box you type in to post a response, there is a button with the earth and what looks like an infinity sign. Click on that button and it will allow you to paste a link in the pop up box. Once you do so and click OK, it will give you what's shown in the photo below: the link and then highlighted text where you can type whatever you want. When you post the thread or reply, that text you wrote will be a clickable link to the link you pasted into the pop up box.

As you can see in the photo, my pasted link is going to facebook. I can type whatever I want for the clickable link and it will take me to facebook. For example:

Site where many people waste time

Anyone see what's wrong with my clickable links? All of the ones that I'd done worked when I created them, now none of them do. I left the left facing bracket off at the end so it would be visible in the post.
