I was wondering why the differences in shape for the 76-77 frt wheel tub? I am guessing it is for room/clearance for some part? Is this wheel tub useable in a 1974 Bronco or not?
Thx

provides extra clearance for the power brake booster. I think it was also mode to clear the steering shaft a little better as well. It will work on any year.

Yep, brake booster clearance for those 2 years only. No reason it won't work on other years.

plus it has that little golf ball sized dimple on the inside to provide extra clearance for the steering shaft connection
