Uncut dash, nice.

Looks to be a 66-67 dash without a radio option at that.

Looks like a 66 rear bumper too with that straight cut bumper end. Can't see those hubs very well, but maybe 66 style as well.

Wonder if that back half/future trailer comes with it.

I don't see much rust either!

Has 66 hubs, as I suspected. Frame has later style post mounts for top of shocks. Sounds like Frankenbronc.

So what are you saying behind my Bronco's back if that's Frankenbronc?

Ha! Your truck has nothing to fear because it doesn't seem as though maybe something is fishy with your vin.

I took a chance and ended up buying this on Saturday.

No bragging without posting pictures! Lol

Whereabouts are you located?

Post by **TOOLMAN** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 12:35 pm

Would love to post photos, but not sure I can. I'm located in Denver.

The long and short: Front floors are hammered. Inner fender aprons look like potato chips and the core support is pretty hammered. Few rust issues. But body is pretty straight! I basically bought it for the sheet metal (mine's got cancer bad). It's supposed to be a 71 throughout. However, I have my doubts. I think it's a 71 body on a 67 frame. Dude said he sold the 67 to another dude (red one in the craigslist photo).

I've been looking for a bit, and didn't want to buy one for the body that was restoreable, just to then hack it up for my purposes.

One great thing about CCB is that everyone can post pics and there is no limit on uploads.

So is the current plan to cannibalize what you bought fir what you already had?

Got it back to the house on Saturday. Found out it's actually a U14. I think it's a 71 frame/motor/trans, but the axles (front and rear) are from a 66/67. The top/bulkhead was the only body part that did not come with it as it was sold previously.

Current plan is to use the tub/sheetmetal from this one for a new body for my old one (pretty cancerous) and sell off the rest. It's got a title and glove box door.
