When did the Graveyard start offering 3 different left front wheel tubs?

While fitting up my front clip on my 76 resto this weekend I double checked the fit of my PS booster and my driver side inner wheel tub. only to find that indeed they hit. so I thought I had somthing wrong. I had purchase all af my front clip sheet metal from Jeff's in 04' and just assembling it now (long story). I pulled out my reciept to see if i ordered the correct 1. and indeed it was labled 76-77. So I looked at their web site and now I see they offer 3. The 1 I have is the one pictured for the 73-75. The 1 for 76-77 has the "kink" in the top for room for the booster. DId they always offer this 1? If I recall correctly they only offered 2 when I bought mine. Just wondering. I will probably order the correct 1 for 76-77.

I will have to look, but I don't think I have any 5 year old bronco graveyard catalogs left in the collection. If I do it will be in the archives and not the current stuff on the shelf.

I only thought there were 2 different wheel tubs. Pre-76 and 76-77. Where did the 3rd one come in?

My 76 has the factory wheel tub and it had the kink in it.

I could be wrong, but I think the pre '72 piece is new. I've been waiting for that. ;D Looks like Jeff has all the bases covered now.

They make a booster bracket that works with the older wheel tubs so it doesn't hit. If you haven't installed the tub yet, call Jeff's and see if they'll swap it out.

I don't know about JBG but Wildhorses for years stated that the one wheel tub they sell was the earlier style that you would need to "modify" with a hammer in order to clear factory disc brakes. This is the first I have heard of any vendor offering the tubs with the factory clearance for factory power brakes.
