Exhaust frame bracket

I have an exhaust frame bracket on the driver side of my frame, in the rear by the leaf springs. Wanted to know if there was such a thing on the passenger side?


I know once the trucks went to catalytic converters, they were all single exhaust. Just wondered if earlier models had a bracket on the passenger side? If so I need to start looking for one for my eventual dual exhaust set up.

Do you happen to remember which side you cut it off? If it's the passengers that might work for me. If so can you give me a measurement from center of the mounting holes? I'd like to see if it matches up with the holes in my frame.

Thanks

Re: Exhaust frame bracket

Diesel trucks had them on both sides.

Thanks Mongocanfly. After careful measuring, it looks like I could mount it but the angle would kick out the wrong way. Looks like I will definitely need a passenger side one. If not, the exhaust guy can make something but it will cost me a little extra.

In the meantime, I will look for a diesel in the Junk yard.
