A "Unibody" is a truck that had a intregal body and bed, not seperate, kind of like a F-100 ranchero type truck. They were made from 1961-63 and based on the production numbers compared to other models, were more common than non-uni types. Unibody doors have a sloping crease to match the body side crease and will not look right on your 66. 1965 doors and hood will be a bolt on direct swap for your '66 however.
