1966 Bronco One Year Only Parts

[Jellyson]

I have a 1966 Bronco Roadster that I acquired from my grandpa that was on the deer lease so it needs a complete frame off restoration. I am here to ask about what parts are 1966 one year only parts. I am aware of these tailgate, grille, bumpers, hubcaps which I don't have unfortunately. Let me know if there are more one year only parts.

There was an old thread that addressed this question. My memory says there are over 100 different items on a 1966

I was looking and couldn't find the thread but the one year only parts are a pain in the rear end

There were 66 year only and 66/67 year only.

66 year only are the
dash knobs
horn button/ring
blinker knob,
transmission shifter knob
transfer case shifter and knob/handle and boot
carb
radiator(6cyl)
fender to fire wall bracket unless it was a heater delete
silver seat upholstery unless a late Pony.
rear axle with the plug
front axle cover plug was a brass 90*
doors
door mirror
jack bracket and location
dash pad
seat belts
tail light lenses
Bronco script on the fenders only has 4 pins
hub caps
silver visors
brass knobs on the vacuum wipers
eyebrow grill early
driver's side metal fresh air vent early
black rubber oval grommet behind the drivers seat early
hood and hood bracing, there was more than one style of bracing on the 66 hoods

66/67 year only are the
hard tops
tailgate
bumpers
alloy locking hubs
dash
steering column rubber bezel

I probably missed some, I've got a list somewhere lol. Here's a bunch of 66 reading I put together a few years ago.

Couple more off the top of my head...
Air cleaner (special to clear the your year only) Single pot master cylinder.
Heater box intake different I believe as well.

A lot of them are also running changes. Early '66 or late '66. There isn't one date where it goes from early to late. Each change had it's own date.

Window crank handles I think were specific to '66 with a screw added for '67.
Door lock cylinder different.
Rear hatch handle/lock
Clutch disk an inch smaller.
Really need that thread.

The '66 is very much a unicorn. It's like those cars that look the same, but were built in a different country and everything is just a little different.

Thanks for all your time and help

Also early '66 has different key hole location on driver door. No key hole in passenger door. Could be a roadster thing (doors added later).
Speedo marking is different.

A couple other thoughts: Warranty plate located on kick panel versus glove box and No Marti report available for 66

 

[gclauson]

66/67 doors have different type of inside door latch handle, internal latch mechanism, door latch. That makes the striker posts (B pillars) different, too.

passenger side flat cowl panel area by windshield is different

Top of windshield holes for roof are different than later versions with electric wipers

Rear view mirror, 66-68 had removable door window frames.

Don’t forget the various and sundry wiring changes Viperwolf1 has been documenting over the past few years.

There's a bunch of things mentioned above that are not 66 year only, that's what the OP was asking for.
