Early Bronco Brake Hoses

Early Bronco Brake Hoses Buyer’s Guide | 1966-77 Ford Bronco

Choosing the right Early Bronco Brake Hoses for your 66-77 Ford Bronco comes down to two main factors:

• Stock replacement vs upgraded performance

• Whether or not you are running a suspension lift

Brake hoses are a critical safety component. Old, cracked, or stretched hoses can limit braking performance and create serious safety concerns. Whether you’re restoring a stock Bronco or building a lifted trail rig, here’s what you need to know.

OEM-Style Rubber Brake Hoses for 66-77 Ford Bronco

If you're looking for a factory-correct replacement, our OEM-style rubber brake hoses are designed as direct replacements for your original Early Bronco brake hoses.

Features include:

• Direct bolt-in fit

• End fittings virtually identical to OEM

• Cad-plated fittings for added corrosion resistance

• Proper length for stock suspension

These hoses are ideal for restorations or stock-height Broncos where maintaining original-style components is the goal.

Stainless Steel Braided Early Bronco Brake Hoses

For improved durability, our stainless steel braided Early Bronco brake hoses offer a performance-oriented upgrade.

Each hose features:

• Stainless braided core for strength

• Clear protective outer jacket to keep out dirt and grime

• Printed lay lines to avoid twisting hoses during installation

• Rubber support inserts between the coupler and hose to handle movement and vibration

The clear jacket protects the stainless braid from debris, helping prevent premature wear. The reinforced construction reduces hose expansion under pressure, which can improve brake pedal firmness and response.

Do You Need Extended Brake Hoses?

If you’ve added a 2.5-inch or greater suspension lift to your Bronco, you may need an extended center brake hose.

When you lift a Bronco, the frame and body move farther away from the differentials. This increases the distance the center brake hose must span.

• Only the center brake hoses require additional length with suspension lifts.

• Front and rear wheel hoses remain the same length regardless of lift height.

For Broncos with suspension lifts requiring longer front and rear brake hoses, select Part #1459.

If you're unsure whether your lift requires extended center hoses, measure your current hose at full droop or contact the Wild Horses team for guidance.

Choosing the Right Early Bronco Brake Hose Setup

• Stock height Bronco → OEM-style rubber or stainless braided, standard length
