I have a good mirror head now. It's hard to tell from his pics, but one might match mine. I think Ford didn't have a specific mirror for the 66 and was using, literally, any mirror they had around. I've seen pics of many different frame & glass mounted mirrors. Hard to say.

That seems to be the case. In the early days of production I think Ford was doing literally whatever they could to get trucks off the line. At least that's what I've found in researching the many quirks about the early ones.

66 horn ring

My white whale!

Phil, those just pop off real quick & easy. LOL.

I am no longer assuming my truck came with a horn ring or hub caps. There was an accessory package that included hub caps & the horn ring, lighter, arm rests, chrome bumpers & tail light trim, and visors. I have the lighter, arm rests, and tail light trim, but my truck has never had visors, so I can assume it did not include the accessory package.

I have this weird, unsatisfied feeling deep inside me, knowing I'll never know just how this truck was built.

I have that same feeling Although on the bright side (speaking of horn rings), a couple days ago I was digging around in my Bronco and found my horn ring under the seat! I thought it was long gone.

Holy crap!

I better go look under my seat.

A few more parts trickling in.

Some stickers, I don't think my truck had the t-case pattern sticker on the dash. But it is cool, so I grabbed one.



Hood to cowl seal



Located an inside the tailgate spare tire carrier, correct 66 jack & lug wrench. Realized I don't have a 66 gas cap, the bracket to attach the oil bath filter to the engine block. I'm sure my battery tie down has been replaced. Updated my "wish list".

Made major headway picking up parts over the last couple weeks.

Got a Craigslist score from a guy who has a Budd bodied U14 he put a wagon top & V8 into. He has a real deal 66 horn ring, he didn't know how special it was, until I explained the 66 horn button differences. I knew there was a 6 cyl 3 speed and t-case with the longer 66 t-case shift lever & knob. Both in great condition. Before I showed up, he found an extra box of stuff that included some very nice visors, and a set of 66 tail light buckets & lenses, gas pedal with throttle cable, steering box, radio, and a bunch of dash knobs I was needing. Oddly enough the tail light buckets & throttle cable were things I wanted, but wasn't really looking for, and the dash knobs & lighter were exactly the knobs I needed. He also had a bunch of non-66 stuff I took off his hands too.

Picked up a couple 66 steering linkages from Eck.

Went to Don's in C.S. and he surprised me with a set of front seat belts & a full set of 5 steel wheels. He threw in a set of correct front coil springs from a 6 cyl Bronco.







Anyone seen this kind of spare tire hold down "wing nut". It was from the bulkhead spare carrier from the U14.



Is this a 66 radio? The "Date Installed" stamp is "6TBB 025748". The knobs are missing.



This hardware is used to bolt the front of the top to the windshield frame, I have the same on my 66. Is this a Budd thing or a 66 thing?

Here is some interesting info regarding your spare mount. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showth ... ost2882787

Gunni, Where did you get the correct cowl seal?

He also has a few airbox to hood seals left, and some other 66 specific stuff. Some stuff is on CB.com classifieds only, some is here:

edit: the cowl to hood seal was not $75, that link is for airbox seal. I don't think he has a specific thread on the cowl to hood seal. It was around $15.
