Help with a 66 vin tag please

[Teal68]

Looking at a 66...can you shed some light on this? It's so different than the later VIN's. I get the Half cab heavy duty, but I don't see how to figure out the rest of it. Motor???

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

there's no VIN on that tag

 

[Teal68]

Shouldn't the full VIN be in the upper left of the tag?

 

[1strodeo]

Yep mine is, that tag looks weird

Photo looks weird like photo shopped.

There is carpet covering the kick panel and hiding the VIN. It's in the upper left corner. The 4th character will give the engine code.

I'll see if I can get an image of the whole tag.

Looks like a jagged cut that doesn't expose all the data tag. I can see it's a U14 half cab with the heavy duty package and a few other things. 4.11 posi.

And a special order of some sort with a six digit DSO

It has a v8 in it, and I'm curious if it's an original v8. The guy is super nice and forthcoming. He's going to see if he can expose more of the tag and check to see what the frame VIN is.

Hi, my 66 Vin tag was holding on by rust and luckily I got it before it disappeared. It is in the box with the registration and other titles and I'll look at it tomorrow. I'll probably post a picture of it for you. Good luck

I guess I never took a pic of mine, but it also has a 6 digit number in that same place

...but here are the numbers from mine

Here is the VIN on my 66.

 

[Teal68]

That pic is very helpful. I can now see how the full vin is cropped by he carpet.

military??

 

[B RON CO]

Hi, there was no carpet on a Bronco. I thought that was just back ground. Good luck

Special order DSO + 66' Bronco= forever a mystery (except for the 72/San Jose part)

just a guess ......Maybe a military or POST OFFICE rig...Reason for the special order status..
.. I had a Cousin that ha one years ago & He swore it was a 1965..
Because he bought it way back in early 65.

First two digits of the DSO would have been 83 if it were for government use.
