I don't recognize it but all mine have had PS and AC, the brackets are all tied together. My guess is it's a PS support for a non-AC truck?

 

[Scott]

no it has ac i was thinking maybe alt to intake brace

The fastener that is in the hole on the LH end - is that a regular stud with 2 nuts threaded on?

Or, is it one of those special studs that is forged with a integral hex nut - i.e. the kind you find in the forward-most exhaust manifold holes?

Also, LOA of the brace and bolt diameter/TPI?

Where was it when you found it?

What is the emisssions code - e.g. if it's a California package it should be YFN, YFW,YJX?

Ah, yes! It's for the smog pump. I didn't recognize it because I removed them all years ago.
