Parking Brake Front Cable

[msommer001]

I am looking for some information on parking brake cables, specifically the front one. I have found a threaded and non thread version. Can someone help me understand why they are different or provide one image of each installed.

Thanks for the help, Mark.

Read the intro at the top of this page, I think it answers your question.

It seems ‘77 used a unique front emergency brake cable that was threaded on one end.
I learned something today.

A Google search found this thread with some diagrams in post #5.

What year is your Bronco? As noted in that other thread 77’s for sure, and possibly 76 are different from 75 and earlier.
One notable difference in the physical mounting is that the early models had a bracket welded to the body, and a cantilever arm pivoting on it.
Later models did not have this arm.

Thank you all for the input. I was able to locate the parts and installed them this past weekend.

Now I am working to get the brake warning light functional and then I plan to add the emergency brake warning light mod so that I don’t smoke the brake by forgetting that I set the emergency brake.
