This scanned reference page (page 24 of a larger document) shows three annotated dash layout diagrams for early Ford Broncos, covering the 1966-1967, 1968-1972, and 1973-1977 model years. Each diagram is a line drawing of the dashboard with numbered callouts identifying every gauge, switch, and control, accompanied by a numbered legend. The 1966-1967 layout identifies 19 items including the headlight switch, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, ammeter, choke, and washer pump switch, with radio and courtesy light noted as optional. The 1968-1972 layout lists 20 items and documents mid-run changes: positions 6, 7, 13, and 15 (ignition switch, cigar lighter, wiper switch, and hazard switch) swapped locations for the 1972 model year, as highlighted by a note beneath the diagram. The 1973-1977 layout lists 22 items, adding dash label lights, a fuel gauge switch, and optional throttle control, with the switch cluster relocated. A reader can use this page to identify unknown controls or restore a Bronco dash to factory-correct configuration for any 1966-1977 model year, including distinguishing pre-1972 from 1972 arrangements.
