Z Bar pivot ball bracket

[rsavage]

I am restoring a 69 4X4 Blazer with a sm465 4speed and a Dana TC. It has a bracket for the clutch z bar pivot ball that bolts to a head bolt and the original hole that the ball would thread into. It moves the ball 5" forward. The engine sits where it should with the distributor very near the firewall. My 71 4X4 Blazer, which I no longer have was a TH350 so photos of that are no help. My 70 shortbed K10 ( which I also no longer have) was a 4 spd. stick but I can't remember if it had this same bracket. My 70 Burb was a stick 2WD, which I also sold, and I can't remember that having a bracket - I think the ball just threaded into the block. I pulled that drivetrain and put a 200 4r in it.
So, do all 4X4's whose engine's sit back to clear the axle use the bracket?
