1966 bronco bucket seats

Just found a 1966 bronco # 26 and was wondering if ford made new
bucket seats for that year or did they use 1965 ford mustang bucket
seats at the begining of production ?? any help would be help. thanks.

But we don't know which one was the 25th one lol

I'm assuming you mean the 26th made. What is your VIN?

One website says there were 23,776 produced for 66 model year, another says there were 18,200 produced etc but what's the real number?

More importantly (to me) how did the VIN sequence work? For instance they obviously did not produce 13,999 Broncos in Aug 1965

Other vehicles used the same number sequence. The Bronco had its own identification in the first part of the VIN but the numerical part would be shared.

23,776 is correct for 66.

Oh I see, so my 844081 just means it was the 81st Ford built in April 1966?

 

[okie4570]

Yeah, u15fl732003 could have been the first bronco, and then u14fl732007, then u13fl732014......the numbers in between weren't always broncos.

Kinda, It wasn't all Fords that used the sequence. I'm not sure how many others used it or which ones.
