Were can i find a chassis layout of a 1978 Bronco? Stripped the frame a couple of years ago rivets and all. Would like to bolt it back together, any help would be much welcomed.

And to Save you $, this book by Ford does not show the Bronco frame, and that is surprising

Great info!  My 1978 has the "handling package".  This included dual front shocks and a rear steering stabilizer.  Haven't been able to find a diagram of that.  Anyone know where I can find one?
