I have just acquired a 67 bronco, stock and original. Aside from the motor the top of the list is to address the brakes. The vehicle has been sitting for nearly 10 years.

What is the best vendor that offers the best value for brake parts. I may convert to disc later, but for now I am going to run the drums since the original
170 inline 6 and three on the tree. I doubt I will be going very fast in the near future.

Thank you in advance.

I found O'reilly's has lots of parts for our eb's on the shelf rather than having to order or drive to numerous parts store locations to get everything. Never been there much in the past but one moved in down the street next to the Autozone and Advance....
Orlando has a lot of parts stores to choose from....really...a lot.
I have many choices and am starting to really like O'reilly's.....

Good to know that Orielly's carries a lot of parts for the early broncos.

I ordered a factory shop manual (used of course) from ebay. Are there any other good books. I am familiar with working on vehicles and have found that some books are better than other, but hard to beat the factory shop manual and the rest is know how.

Thank you.

Factory shop manual is perfect.
More references the better though.
Chilton and Haynes are Good to have around too.

Get all of the vendors catalogs too. Lots to be learned in them as well.
Especially Wild Horses.
