transfer case brace on a sm465 truck?

Did any of these 1980's sm465/np208 trucks have the brace rod that went to the bellhousing bolt?

I've been trying to track one down, but haven't been having any luck. Is it possible that GM only installed those braces on the automatic trucks?

I don't think I've ever seen the bell housing brace on a manual with a 205

This is the first I've heard conclusively of a sm465/np208 truck having that brace.

Any chance you get a couple photos of that brace? How it attaches, what bends it has, etc? Any measurements, such as diameter or length, would be appreciated as well.
