Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
Hey all! Thanks for the add! I'm really excited to be here. Here is my '66 halfcab with the 170 ci straight six. It's mostly stock except for the tires and light on top. It's new to me, but it's been in my family for a very long time. It sat for the better part of the last decade and I was recently able to grab it and bring it home. When it was stored it had a cracked intermediate housing between the T-case and transmission from a botched clutch install. Once I got it home and pulled the T-case to replace the housing, I also dropped the transmission and realized it has been mangled pretty bad in the plowing incident that led to the clutch going out. Another member here, akaFrankCastle, was gracious enough to give me an extra 3 speed he had so the plan is to put the whole thing back together with the new tranny here in the next week and get her back on the road. "Sally" (I have no idea where the nickname came from, it's just what we have always called it) needs some other work: a carb rebuild, some front end work, new bushings, etc. from years of abuse as a plow truck, but once I get the drivetrain set I will get working on those things. I'm excited to be a part of this community! Here's some pics. I will take some better ones when I can. I snapped these when I retrieved her.

Welcome aboard.
I love the half cab look, especially with that light.

Re: Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
Welcome!!! Nice ride!!! I'm pretty sure that a member here took a picture of it not too long ago with the shop/storage # in the background and I called and asked what they wanted for it, or if it was for sale, they told me it didn't belong to them and the guy I talked to said he was trying to buy it from the owner too for quite some time!

Re: Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
Does anyone know a good way to try and gather some history on Early Broncos? Things like what dealership it was delivered to, or what options it had when it was sold? I have looked around and I can't find a good place to start looking. I was thinking I could request the title history from the DMV but I have no idea if they have and/or would give me that info.

Re: Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
You can request a title history and VIN search through the state for "historical purposes". Specific forms are required from the state and you may need to have a VIN verification conducted to prove you are currently in possession of the vehicle.
If you live close to Denver and don't mind wasting a day, you can apparently go straight to the capital offices and have it done while you wait.
Best of luck either way. I sent in my request back in January. They cashed my check on 1/28/15 and I still haven't received squat back from them.

Re: Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
Thanks for the input guys. I think I might try and request a title history report from the state once it's back on the road. Seems like patience is always required when woring with the DMV.
The VIN decoder is super helpful so thanks for that. That gave me some basic info to start working off and I'll see if I can get anything more detailed from the DMV.

Re: Hello Everyone! Here's my '66 Halfcab
Here are a couple more pictures now that it is back on the road again. One minor issue that is still hanging around is that the battery isn't charging when the engine is running. I ordered a new voltage regulator as some preliminary testing pegged the problem between the field contact on the alternator and the voltage regulator. The alternator was new from before it sat for all that time so hopefully that will be fixed next weekend once I get the new reg. Then all that's left is a long, relatively slow trip home from the foothills. Here it is in the shop for the last time (for now) while we changed the oil. Parked after the first test drive.
