An '83 Bronco doesn't have ABS, so no; it's not for an '83 Bronco. It's an image I've uploaded to the SMO registry for my '83 Bronco, but the info applies to '87-96 F-series & '87-92 Broncos. But Ford PROBABLY hasn't changed the design of the sensors very much (especially their electronic characteristics) even today, so those values probably apply directly to your truck.
SMO is really a public image/video hosting site. Not many people upload technical data like I do, so IDK if searching the whole site would return any useful results. But to search MY stuff, switch the album view to "Thumbnails + Captions" and hit CTRL+F (the standard way of searching any web page). You'll have to do that in each album that you want to search, but I only have a few albums with that kind of tech info. Click my black Bronco & my tan CV below, and look thru the album lists.

Service manual says between 300 and 500 for the front sensors.
Reference section 206-09b subsection E2
Here's what the symptom charts suggests for your symptom:
Quote:
o ABS Misfire, ABS Too Sensitive, ABS Fires On Normal Stop
Possible Source(s):
§ Rear anti-lock brake sensor indicator is damaged.
Action(s) to take:
§ REMOVE rear sensor from the differential housing; INSPECT rear anti-lock brake sensor indicator.
Possible Source(s):
§ Front anti-lock brake sensor indicator is damaged.
Action(s) to take:
§ INSPECT for damaged teeth. INSPECT both front tone rings.
Possible Source(s):
§ Sensor output is out of sync.
Action(s) to take:
§ If left front sensor output is out of sync, GO to «Pinpoint Test F». If right front sensor output is out of sync, GO to «Pinpoint Test H». If rear sensor output is out of sync, GO to «Pinpoint Test J».
Possible Source(s):
§ Intermittent open or shorted sensor circuit.
Action(s) to take:
§ GO to Intermittent Failures to test circuits: 514 (YE/RD), 516 (YE/BK), 523 (RD/PK) and 519 (LG/BK).
Possible Source(s):
§ Chafed wire insulation or pinched wire due to improper routing causing intermittent short.
Action(s) to take:
§ INSPECT wiring harness from front sensor knuckle to the frame and from the rear axle to the frame for worn or chafed wire insulation.
Possible Source(s):
§ Rear brake adjustment too tight.
§ Linings are grabby.
Action(s) to take:
§ ELIMINATE base brake system as cause of problem.
Possible Source(s):
§ Loose sensor(s).
Action(s) to take:
§ TIGHTEN sensor bolt to specifications. REFER to Specifications.
