The 505 will blow the 66 away. It is a Long Ranger with a different body, so it will lift far more than a 66 could ever dream of, therefore at any set load it will out perform it. Having sat in one over Easter this year, there is far more room in the back than the 66.

Personally if i was looking at a machine about that size and price range i would get a good second hand Long Ranger, pretty it up with new paint/ Interior etc and still have a couple hundred change...
