My First EB - 1966 U14

t120r · Dec 8, 2010

Hey guys, I've been on here for quite a while and finally bought my first EB. I have no idea what direction I will go with it yet. It's a bone stock 170-i6 & 3-speed. Even has some original rubber. 40996 on the odometer.

Great find..Probably 140k right?

t120r · Dec 8, 2010

Nope. It was used in Northern Ontario on farmers fields. Used for towing and plowing. I have the car report on it as well. I was told that there's a possibility that 2 wheels have never been off the truck... That means I'm gonna need at least 10 new studs.

Excellent.. Congrats & welcome to the site!

Congrats on the find. With that low mileage on it might want to consider restoring it back to original. Its a survivor and a time capsule.

Congrats and welcome!! Nice find.

I know of one around here that has 22,000 on it...trying my best to get it...

Well it needs floors and rockers... I believe that's part of the yearly maintenance schedule on these things though. I'll fix it up and keep it stock.. But if the bug hits me to start modding, I'll make sure to keep all the original parts... Just in case

Sweet find. If it lived life in the field, I'm sure you'll have lots of rat chewed wires. The things a rat will eat! My wires still have teeth marks, my overflow cap is barely a cap at all thanks to el raton.

Good luck with it all!

Northern Ontario - 40K miles or kilometers?? ;D

Nice find either way.

That's awesome, keep it original for sure.

Funny you should say that, there are wires hanging down from under the floor where the drivers seat is.

I have no idea if broncos were in miles or Kilometers in 1966. I won't have a chance to check till Sunday.

Nice find! I always get excited when I see one of these babies setting in a field or behind a shed. Just ask my wife how many times we have turned around to check out a Bronco while driving the backroads here in the midwest! yeah...she thinks I am crazy! %)

Nice find! I vote for keeping it original too.

ghost66 · Dec 9, 2010

Welcome and cobgrats I vote for original

Nice bronco, I have a soft spot for half cabs (and Canada). Congrats!

Looks like a fine truck. Must be an interesting shipping story there. The trailer certainly looks up to the job. Are you in the US? Any issues with crossing the border?

t120r · Dec 10, 2010

No sorry, I'm in Canada. I live in Mississauga, but the truck was 1 hour north of Timmins. So roughly 900kms north. I saw a few for sale in the US, but I just didn't want to deal with the border.

Welcome to the site and oh happy day getting a delivery like that, Don,t you wish everyday could feel like that?

JDJ · Dec 11, 2010

congrats and good luck!

Looks good, in much better condition than mine, as far as I can tell on the body, which in my opinion is the hardest part to work on if you don't have the setup for it.

Congratulations on the purchase, enjoy it!
