Lotta work, comin along nicely! Only looked @ 1st 3 pic but should run numbers on frame/body again. Doesn't seem to be a '66? Anything can B swapped in, tho.

I simply know what he told me...I figured since this much work was put in, he knew what it was...

But idk..

Any particular ques, that are leading you to believe its not a 1966?

Jus wonderin'...

Jus wonderin'

Hey, it's an early Bronco! Mine's built from @ least 3 different rigs, had it 29 yrs so know most of it's prts ;- )
Looked @ more of it (restored) guys quite a welder/fabricator! Wish I had the time, skill, equip, $, space, talent...

don't the rear shocks point in the opposite direction on the '66 only?
frnt/rear side markers/turn sig different,
same w/the chrome on the tail lght lenses,
different 'external' rear view mirrors - were round n on "stalks',
corners on the bumpers different (& did they have chromed 1s in '66?).

Now, again - all these things could B swapped (has 1 door - it would have a removable window frame, but again, quite swappable). That's why I said ck the numbers. 200 motor was only 2 yrs '73/74, & never had that tranny but I assume that was known.
40 yrs is a long time anyway...
