I am running stock 15's. So those would have to be changed out?
Well, since the '76 EB that the parts came from had stock 15's as well. So you "might" be able to use yours too.
It all depends on whether Ford changed the wheels to accommodate the arms or not.
They probably did not, and your wheels will probably fit, because at only 5.5 or 6 inches wide, the backspacing was probably less than 3.75" anyway.
I say all those "probablys" because I don't know for 100% certain. You may just have to test them to find out. In some cases the wheels fit, but the standard clamp-on wheel weights will hit the tie-rod ends. In other cases, not.
I used 78 bronco brakes and the stock rims fit fine...
Different beast. The brake parts are the same, but the steering knuckles have their steering arms farther inward and lower than disc brake EB knuckles.
So the full-size steering knuckles don't have the clearance issue that the Bronco knuckles are known for.
also the (1971)44 and (1969)30 track bar that came on mine where the same.
Good to know the specific years of yours that did work. I've seen that as well. But members here over the years have reported both some hits and some misses with their direct first-hand experience with stock trackbars. So not sure what the differences are. Maybe just the very early years?
What year is your BroncoNash?
Here again then I would recommend you:
1. Take the trackbar if the new axle comes with one
2. If it doesn't then try yours first before you fork over for a new one.
2 1/2... (we sell a nice one by the way
;D He says, putting his semi-subliminal sales tactic training to work...%)
I wonder if the trackbars were subject to a running change when they first started using those hybrid 44's under them? This started in '68 or '69, but was most prevalent on '70 model year trucks. All before the official change to the 44 in mid-'71.
Anyway, if you have a '67 and the trackbar hits Nash, we'll have another little tidbit of data for our archives.
Good luck.
