What this bracket for ?
I have a 72 C10 step side. I think at one time it was a 3 or 4 speed. Getting ready to put in my new 350. I notice this bracket ?? For what ? Also another bracket or brackets that were cut off with torch.on both sides. I'm guessing two the brackets because they were mounted inside the frame top and bottom. I remove the cutoff brackets. Nothing on the glove box.

Yeah that's the z-bar bracket. I've spent a lot of time staring at one of those lately.

It connects the steering column linkage to the transmission so you can put it in the correct gear on an automatic transmission.

The Z-bar reverses the direction of the clutch pedal and pushes the clutch in. Random internet pic:
