The "itch" 1966 u14 build

[berg bronco]

first I have to say thanks to Ben "ngabronco" for selling this rig to me!
the truck is a 1966 u14 with a build date of aug. 1965. I'm going to do a frame off restore to as close to stock as possible!
here are some pics as it sits before the tear down. it is overall a solid truck, although it has its problems but thats what you get with a 45 year old truck! ill be posting a ton of pics so stay tuned!

here are some pics of the tear down. there were some suprises! like the wonderful firewall mods and the flat metal in the rear but overall not that bad

so far it looks like all the floors need replaced. but everything above the floors looks solid!

Looking good Josh. It is going to be easy replace them floor pans now with it on the work table. I think you should leave it. It will be easier on the old back.
