Helicopters. Either hanging a guy out an open door (it looks like 16mm film, non-sound sync Arri 16 you could lodge in your lap/arm) or I believe Wescam's were out around that time. Those are the pods with the cameras that hang down.
At least the guy got a fishing trip out of it.OMG, hey nailed the salesman stereotype, didn't they?
If it was a tailgate mount spare you did. The swinging spare holder didn't appear until 68'. 66 and 67 only had the inside tailgate mount or on the back of the bulk head behind the passenger seat, which was only available if you didn't have a rear seat.
The 289 was available in March 66' and then discontinued in the bronco after 68'. 302 or 170 6cyl was the lineup for the 69'.
Still have the vacuum wipers on it?My 66. Not really a daily, but fun to drive on the weekends. It’s always a conversation starter.
It does and they do work. I have them running on manifold vacuum vs the special fuel pump (which I still have). I had to go to a regular fuel pump as I added power steering and the vacuum pump wouldn't fit.
I can relate to your comments. I learned to drive on a 69 half cab with that high output inline 6 (hehehe), No power anything! I thought it was normal that you just had to fight the steering wheel to keep it in your lane. Was not until my 75 and 76 Broncos did I start getting all the power brakes and steering. The folks who complain of the road manners of a solid front axle on a modern Jeep really have no idea how far it's come since the early days of a Bronco or an old CJ.
Thanks for that. Made my day.
If anything, laws generally become more restrictive, rather than less so. Don't forget about the Myers Manx and other vehicles. Lap belts weren't even required to be installed until '66.
