Do any you gents have a decent picture of where the brackets and cables route underneath a 76 bronco? I've found a few diagrams on the internet, but they are tiny and it's hard to make out the exact location of where to weld the brackets. I'm putting in new sheet metal and braces, and I am a little stumped on where exactly the brackets and lines get routed. Sadly, nothing was working or connected when I purchased the bronco. I

Thank you so much in advance,

Some body help this Texan.

I believe the JBG catalog has a lot of great images for this sort of thing.
Also LMC has great images too.

I’ve got one right now. I’ll snap some more tomorrow. I can email them to you. Don’t have a way to post pictures since photobucket decided to be a jackass.

76 and 77 are the same. which is different from the 75 back ones. however i believe that if it is an early 76 it may have the 75 back setup. seems I read that on here once before

Crush is correct. There were two variations of the pedal assembly, and three variations of the cabling.
The last iteration did not have the cantilever/pivot point on the tub.
And as said, a '76 could be just about anything!

Which panels did you replace Texas Dude? Did the whole floor pan have to be replaced? Did you do the work? Do you remember if it had a pivoting lever arm on the underside?

ITs a complete floor pan and braces swap. It was all rhino lined underneath. Nothing was hooked up so I ordered all new parts. I was able to save the thing that swings, and the brace with one hole where the cable from the actual brake pedal wires to.
