the 71-74 used a 4 piece system , some of the cables are still available from Raybestos or Wagner , Year one has repro sets too

there is a long intermediate cable that creates a U under the car & connects to both wheel cables , there is a steel hook to hold the cable under the passenger floor & the cable from the pedal connects to the mid cable under the drivers floor

That pic looks familliar!  :clueless:   ;) 
 Napa had the intermidiate, the only place with a reasonable price I found on the front cable was year one (believe it or not) part # eb4 if I remember correctly,23 bucks I think, the 2 other brake places I saw were like 60 bucks.
napa was unable to locate the front, they had all the others! Rich.

That looks like intermidiate with the rear connectors & right side frame hook, you'll still need the front cable & the center support hook. Rich.

Hardens sells complete kits that have everything from front to back,but be aware that either the front cable is too short or the rear cables are too short so once assembled you can't attach the anchor.
I have used this kit on two cars now and had to fabricate a new longer center mount.
I have confirmed that the intermidiate cable and anchor are correct though.
They have kits for both the equal lenght rears and the short and long set-up.
