• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

$180 is too high. You can get one at Tomsbroncoparts for $59.

I bought one at JBG just like it......asked them if it fits the stock fittings on the lines and they said I'll have to cut all the stock lines and reflare with new fittings....really don't want to do all that.......but I still have the one from JBG, contemplating on sending it back, not sure yet.......

Anyone used the one from JBG that looks exactly like the one from Tom's???

Anything special with it, is it a direct replacement??

If you are trying to find a stock used one you are probably wasting your time. I bought five at the local wrecking yards. They were so rusted inside that they were next to impossible to get apart. I went to the dealer. Instead of having a $180 stock p-valve. I had one that cost $230 plus a lot of wasted time. used ones are $10 each around here. There are not many people that flush their brake lines every couple of years.

If your Bronco is not stock with a stock hardtop you will probably be happier with one you can adjust.

Try a Ford dealer, LMC, Dennis Carpenter. I bought mine from a dealer 6 or 7 years ago.
I wrote that down as a 77 Bronco but I think a 76 was the same.

I think 78 and 79 Broncos and a few other 4wd pu use the same one but don't remember for sure.

Ok, just got back from evacuating for Gustav....everything ok here......

Thanks ALL! I will check the other Ford dealer here, the one in the next town said they don't even have books that go back that far anymore when I asked about parts for a '76......maybe I'll have better luck with the other one... If not, I'll look into reflaring maybe for the JBG one I bought....

I'll see what happens....... Thanks again y'all!!
