It can be welded. My '79 lived with a welded tab for a couple decades.

Welded mine on about 15 years ago. Go for it, much cheaper!

If you do decide to replace the parking brake I think 67 thru 77 are all the same,not sure about a 66.

why would you call welding it "chancing it"? Weld it,,, shoot some rattle can paint on it,,, and be done already.

weld it

but if you go to pick & pull ,with a tape measure, a lot if not most of the parking brake assemblies from Ford trucks fit Broncos. Look for same years. The firewall mount is the same and so is the distance from firewall to bottom of dash.

I beleive that there is a difference in later year broncos. Maybe just 77 but may include 76 and 75. There were at least two maybe three different parking brake pedal assemblies. The 66 is, i believe, unique to 66. Then 67 to maybe 76. And then Late 76 and 77. I know the 77 is different because the whole assembly and cables are different and this Created a geometry difference for the length of pull. Trucks will have a similar difference. I believe they all look alike but the gearing in them is different. It shoukdnt make a huge difference and you should be able to adjust the cables to compensate but as we know, Each bronco is different. Best bet is to repair the one you have and run with it

Hope this helps
