1967 Bronco Fender Brackets Different?

[67 Roadster]

I recently had my '67 Roadster repainted and of course some parts are missing including some lower fender brackets. There are two rear brackets per fender on my '67 and do not look anything like the triangle ones that are reproduced. Can someone confirm that there was a design change and if there is a company that make the older style?

Do they look more like rods? This is what mine has.

The rods are the front brackets. My rear brackets are relatively simple rectangular type.

You guys need to use the correct nomenclature. There's no such thing as "rear fenders". Fenders are on the front of a vehicle, quarter panels are on the rear. When you say "There are two rear brackets per fender on my '67 and do not look anything like the triangle ones that are reproduced." are you talking about the rearward end of the fenders or something on the quarter panels? The link above is to a quarter panel bracket.

If you clarify what you're looking for, I can take all the photos you need on my stock '67.

I didn't state anything about "rear fenders". The front of my fender has a rod type bracket and at the rear of the fender are two brackets; one is "L" shaped, the other is rectangular and angled at both ends.

No, those are what I think are probably really 68-77 brackets.

How many attach holes in your " rectangular and angled at both ends" bracket?

Pictures of 68 Fender Rear supports, passenger side:

The two brackets are not the same.
The MPC only lists one part number.
It appears to be the bracket farther from the tire?

66-68 part number C6TZ-16C170-A
69-77 part number C9TZ-16C170-A

It appears Ford started with one bracket,
Then decided they need more support and added a second bracket,
Then went to a single bracket that attached to fender at two places.
Your rectangular and angled at both ends bracket may be an interim part, or a DIY stiffener?

Yes, those are the brackets, thanks for the photos.

And yet you replied "The rods are the front brackets. My rear brackets are relatively simple rectangular type."

The rods linked to have zero to do with fenders and in fact are quarter panel parts. Your reply indicates that you're talking about quarter panels.

You are not helping. Please go bother someone else.

Thanks, those are the right brackets. So tired of these reproduction companies stating that parts fit "66-77" when very often they don't.

For clarification, your post is asking for a '67 but you are finding yours to be more like a '68 which according to the diagrams are indeed different?
Suppose there was a mid-year change over like other items were subject to during the run of the 1G vehicles?

LOL, I offered to send photos of anything you wanted from my bone stock 1967, but you decided you'd rather argue. Best of luck to you.

I have an early '67, built in fall of '66. Mine is just like 67 Roadster's. I have 2 rear brackets on the front fender that looks just like the 68 diagram. I have both original brackets somewhere, I will try to find them and take a picture. I adapted some other brackets to use instead of the originals, and temporarily put them in place. Here is a picture using the hardware that comes with a new fender brace, ( yes, I know the clips aren't used this way). Final fitting I will use stainless bolts with a lower profile head, the ones that came with the kit stick out too much below the fender.

Yes, it now seems these brackets ran from 66 to 68, or perhaps later, I am not sure.
