There are contracts, Documents and Pictures out showing that 66,75, and 76 Bronco's were in fact used in the Military so the rare Military Broncos group has expanded to other years of Broncos
There were some 1966 U13 Broncos in the military through 1965 and 1966 due to the first Broncos left the production line in 1965.There is a lot of unknown history on these Broncos due to Ford and The U.S. Government have destroyed most all of the documentation for the 1966 Broncos. There have been stories from Vietnam Vets talking about the use of the 66 U13 in Vietnam well as there is a picture of at least 1 of the 66 Broncos. There has also been documentation found showing that between 1975 and 1976 there was a limited number of Bronco sent to Ft Hood Texas Army Base as a quest in looking for a Suitable High Performance Vehicle to replace the M151 Jeep. The Bronco sent was a V8 302 with Power steering and Power Brakes and automatic transmissions. They also sent some V8 302 standard Broncos with Manual Steering, Brakes, and Transmission. It is not known whether or not these Broncos were ever actually put into service but we do know they had a few as test vehicles.
