and one more from the outside of the frame.




Good work! That also explains why the factory parts books list this brace for both 2wd and 4wd starting in 86.

BRACKET, Frame Rail Steering Gear Reinforcement
(Not Illustrated)
4322029 1 86-88
4447405 1 89-93

4322029 actually is superceded by 4447405

I have also been told that the bracket you show in this picture ia also available in a heavier duty design that was used on the later year trucks, it's just that the frame holes have to be enlarged.
