The support bar in my 78 k10 is missing.
It has the large bolts still in the t-case so I assume it had one.
Has the original TH350 and np203. Does anyone have one?
Also would one from a 81+ with a np208 be the same rod?
Thanks

are you asking if its the same as np203 because of the Position on the case it would bolt to?

I might have one, It’s from a 76 or 77 with a 350, but not sure which transfer case. I’m out of town right now but can check this weekend when I get home.

It's the pic on the right. The long rod with 2 bolts on the case and one to the bell housing.

i havent seen any, like mine is missing, but if you wanted to make one Id say thats going to be a lot more fruitful of a path.

but i defintiely think its important especially if your truck has good power.
does your th350 have the cast cover on the bottom that bolts to the mounts(motor)

It's a stock 350, so I wouldn't say it has good HP/torq

Sorry. I'll look today, it's been down below zero all week so I haven't been to my shop. Supposed to hit 40 degrees today (heat wave). I am 99% sure I have one just not sure if its the right one.

I have one. This one may have come off a TH400, but I think the 350 case is the same length. Check the measurement, should be about 30" from the forward bolt hole on the case to the transmission bolt just above the starter

Thanks. Sounds like a heat wave compared to below zero.
