Original paint 1966 Ford Bronco
This Bronco spent its life in the Black Hills of Wyoming on the outskirts of Devils Tower.
This is a True Uncut 1966 Original Paint bronco with absolutely awesome Patina !
This bronco was used on a daily basis by one family on an old homestead in the hills of Wyoming until it was parked because of the clutch. A little under 67,000 miles were put on this Bronco before the clutch disk went out. Once that happened it was parked and has been sitting in the same spot on that homestead ever since then until we acquired it.
When we got it home we decided to put her back on the road. The first thing we did was test the motor to see if the motor was in great shape. After determining that the motor was in tip top shape, we carefully removed the motor and ordered a complete new clutch kit for it. We installed the clutch and reinstalled the engine. The gas tank was removed and drained and reinstalled with a new gas tank brass float. A new radiator was installed with upper and lower radiator hoses, thermostat, coolant, and radiator cap. The oil was changed with new oil filter and spark plugs.
We also installed a new ignition switch, gas cap, horn button kit, steering column shifter housing, turn signal yoke, battery, and brake master cylinder kit. The fan belt could be replaced but seems to be working fine for now.This Bronco sat in the same place for over 25 years once the clutch went out and the carburetor was not removed, cleaned, or rebuilt and is working flawlessly !! That is almost hard to believe but it is true !
Our goal when we brought the Bronco home was to touch as little as possibly on it in order to get it back on the road and to make sure that none of its originality was damaged or destroyed.
The tires that are now on this Bronco are the tires that were on it when found. All 4 of them were completely flat for 25 years and have all held air since the day we brought it home ! The tires need to be replaced for sure if you plan on driving this bronco daily.
Some adjustments or maintenance needs to still be performed on the bronco. We ordered 4 new high quality wheel cylinders for it and they will need to be installed but are included.
The charging system is only putting out about 12.8 volts so the alternator looks like it will need to be restored or replaced at some point.
Its possible that it is just a small wiring issue as well. We have been driving it around our place with no issues once running but upon first start we usually jump it. We installed a new horn button kit and turn signal yoke but the harness needs to be tinkered with at the bottom of the column to get the horn to honk. Could be a fuse ?The horn itself does test good.
The radio does turn on and i was able to get a few stations to play on the radio !
The CB face lights up but i could not get any sort of noise to come across on the speakers using the CB. I think that all of the little issues that need to be tinkered with should not be much of a big deal and will be fun to figure out !
The motor runs super smooth and does not blow smoke. We have driven around town on short trips around the block and all of the gears shifted well. We also tested the transfer case and it shifted into high and low.
We would recommend checking / testing all drivetrain fluids and going through basic maintenance on this bronco before driving it long distances or daily. We have not done so.
