Hey Mike. Nope, I think you have a very interesting VIN there. It doesn't follow the normal sequence, so could be an extremely rare "first edition" with special VIN. Unless you're leaving numbers out?
Even if it's sequence, the numbers were shared with pickups of all descriptions, so for instance if yours was the 442nd truck off the line, it would probably have been the first Bronco! Ford probably made many hundreds, and perhaps thousands of pickups for every EB made.
(edit: I guess that was a "slight" exageration since the numbers in that other thread seem to indicate that they were much closer together than many hundreds, much less thousands of trucks)
Here's another discussion about it that is very interesting and detailed: Earliest Broncos known to exist (revised)!! - ClassicBroncos.com Forums
Definitely add your info.

Hey Chad, does the Broncohio site decode '66's? I thought they didn't have much info there.
And Marti does not have info for '66 and '67 Broncos unfortunately (or at least '66's) so can't help there either.
Good luck Mike!

PS: if yours is a 442 following the normal sequencing (rather than just zeros) then you're in the twenties as far as earliest Broncos built.
