What is the full VIN number?

No such thing as U25 1966/77.

U15 only.

What axle it has, has nothing to do with U15.

The AXLE code is on the far right of the second line on the Warranty Plate.

U25 = ?

N = 289 2V

L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant

C71628 = 1968

Does the registration have the same VIN as the warrantly plate?

The Warranty Plate is located on the left hand inner cowl panel: 1966/69.

66's and very early 67's had the plate on the kick panel, after that they were moved to the glovebox lid.

The warranty plate location I listed for 1966/69 came from the 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog ~ Bronco Warranty Plate Decode Charts ~ General Info Section ~ Page 40.
