Hi there-

Thanks!

I believe -

U14 - Bronco Half Cab
F - 170 6-cyl
L - Built at Michigan Plant

and from the rest someone like okie can tell you when it was built.

Built in 11/65'

Are you able to tell what number bronco built it was? I'm assuming being a '65 build its pretty early off the line?

Hard to tell because ford trucks and econolines were built on the same lines so yours is 777834 vehicle off the line

Weren’t the earliest ones built in May 1965? Kind of like mustangs.
Or was it later?

Not sure when the prototypes were assembled but production started in 8/65'.

777834-732001 so the 45,833rd vehicle that rolled of the 66' model f100, econoline and bronco line. We think most of the broncos were built early in the production year, August 65-January 66', simply because 66' broncos that were built from 2-66 - 7-66 rarely appear.
