Default Front End Support Rod, 76 (likely 73-77?)

Looking to buy the front end support rod for a 1976. This is the rod that extends from the lower center radiator support up to the nose. I can find 68-72 in repro, but not later.

Let me know if you have one for sale.

The support rod is shown here on my 72. It's the black rod with all the yellow overspray on it. The later version differs in its attachments but serves the same function and looks very similar.

First photo shows it attaching to the bottom of the radiator support.

I have this one off a 75. It is corroded at one end, not sure how much weight is on it. If you want it, you can have it for $15 including shipping. Based upon the length, most of the cost should be shipping. If it turns out a lot less I will lower the price. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!
We had looked before and not found this. I'm sure he would prefer a new one, and next parts order I'll put it on.
