Gentlemen,
I am a Power Wagon guy, so I am offsides here, but I am helping a recently widowed lady with a 1966 Bronco. Arizona car, rust is zero except for floorpan on passenger's side where the heater core leaked, but did not penetrate. Minor collision damage on both sides at fuel filler necks. Obvious non-factory fuel tank(s), and cut wheel openings. Truck "ran good when parked", probably 7-8 years ago. Pack rats have been active = wiring damage. Since this isn't a MOPAR, any information you may have on this is greatly appreciated.

Notes based on questions:
- Glass is good all the way around, windshield has a couple of stars - I would probably replace that if it were mine, but not urgent.
- Engine ran when parked 7 years ago
- Trans is allegedly good
- Steering gear is loose, needs love
- Wiring has been damaged by rat chews and age, expect to replace harness
- Tires are totalled, but you knew that already
- Paint is factory with Arizona sunburn, no body filler that I can find
- Rust on passenger's floor pan due to heater core leak-out. I cleaned about a tablespoon of rust from there. There is no penetration, and the bolt and bolt hole look ok.
- There was gas in it when parked, expect new tank(s) or cleanout. Tanks were aftermarket or custom, not original.
- There is a back seat with the truck, found in a garage, is in good condition, will photograph.
- Looking for the rest of the wheels. It is presently wearing three factory Ford steels, and two 8" steels. There used to be 5 of each. Update - cannot find any other wheels, what you see is what you get.
- Bumpers are nicely made homemade or old aftermarket. Rear bumper is bent.
- Spare tire carrier is aftermarket Dick Cepek
- Antenna mount for CB/Ham radio on drivers side rear quarter panel. Truck was used in search and rescue for many years and carried radio gear at various times
- Dual battery pans
- The box on top of the drivers side wheel well is a spare parts box
- The truck was once a "centerfold" in Outside magazine in the 1990s for a drive in the Cabeza Prieta game range. I will pass on the issue if I learn it. Owner says she may have a copy saved.
