Alright, I've had this truck for about a month. Wife is already giving me a major headache about why I'm not driving it and still dumping money into it. I really don't want to get rid of it but thought I'd see if there is any interest just to appease the wife.
So if anyone is interested, it's a 1966 U15 with factory plow setup. I honestly don't know a whole lot about it as this is my first (and won't be last) venture into the Bronco world. Mostly what I do know is that it does run, it does and does drive. Has a 170 6 cylinder with a 3 speed on the tree. Plow setup works great
I have done a couple very minor things to it since I've had it.
- rebuilt and sealed heater with new core, valve, upgraded motor and cage.
- rebuilt and cleaned the carb
- new points/condenser/coil
- hooked gas tank back up.
- acquired a stock air cleaner set up (thanks again Explorer)
The bad:
There is some rust but not to bad as far as I can tell. most of the rust is in the driver side kick panel. Floors are solid.
- crack in windshield
- missing rear bumper
- brake lights and blinkers don't work.. running lights come on, just don't get brighter. Turn signal switch?
- headlights just developed a short yesterday... they randomly blink on and off but only when the engine is running.
- doors and top need some adjusting.
This is a great start to a restoration project, or would make a perfect plow truck as-is. I would still call it a project, but a running project. I wouldn't hit the freeway with it though.
Anyway, email ( green@architecturalscience.com ) or pm me if you have any interest, questions, want specific pictures, or want to take a look in person. I'm in Michigan about 35 miles North of Ann Arbor. Looking for $3500 which is pretty much exactly what I have into it... no profit, just a good home
Thanks
