Do the braces that run diagonally from the firewall to the front fender aprons really do any good on a 73 B body?
 
Yes, but the question is really what good?
If they mainly stop the driver seeing in his field of vision the front fenders shake in hard driving, which likely undermines confidence in a cars chassis, then that is likely perceived to be good.
I use the analogy of those that questionably striving to stop antenna shake/flexing when hard driving by increasing the diameter of the antenna , etc, and when the basis for the "upgrade" is questioned, the response is often a meek response of, "It can't hurt".
I can't speak to the actual effectiveness of a 73 B body design that I am unfamiliar with.
