Newb post - which manual?
#1
For my '66? There is the 1966 TRUCK shop manual that supposedly covers broncos (four volume set) and the 1966 BRONCO preliminary manual. My understanding is that the preliminary manual requires the Econoline manual to be complete? How much can I get done with just the preliminary Bronco manual?

More importantly why hasn't one of you Gurus quit your day job to make a Chilton's type manual for us EB owners? Big Grin

VIN# makes it a 1985, the engine block# is an 1989, and the front end is from a 1987. I call it Broncenstein. [Image: bronco.gif]

You don't need no stinkin' manual.

What are you going to work on? A generic manual would be fine for torque values and general specs.

The chiltons that covers the truck is what I have, as well as the Haynes. Either one will give you all specs and procedures with the exception of rebuilding an auto trans.

I'm going to work on EVERYTHING. This is going to be just about a complete build, so I would like the best source of information possible.

You can get the wiring diagram for your 66 on Classic Bronco by doing a search. Everything else just ask Matt, Charles and or Chuck as well as others I failed to mention. They know their chit!

Now get out there and introduce urself and post some pics!

Last week you asked me about the location of frames VIN, here is an area of where your VIN should be on the frame. Since you have a 66 there may be other areas on the tub where a temp VIN is located.
