1976 Bronco Brakes

[orion98422]

I recently purchased a 76 Bronco -- replacing a 71 that was stolen and never recovered. The front brakes are discs but they are manual -- all the info I can find says they should be power disc brakes. The master cylinder and lines appear to be original and not some kind of hacked conversion. As a side note I bought this vehicle from a naval officer who bought it in Panama and shipped it home 15 years ago -- it was his belief it was originally sold in Panama. Is anyone aware of others with this brake configuration? -- as a side note its stops fine.

Thank You

a 76 should have discs up front and could be manual it could be stock as long as it stops with your tires ... its good
