Default 51 truck air cleaner bracket

Does anyone have a picture of the bracket that goes to the side of the oil bath air cleaner on a 51 F1 truck. My air cleaner has the cage nut for it but the bracket is missing and I don't know where it attaches to the engine or what the bracket looks like.
Thanks Jim K
Should have said it is a V8 Flat head I assume it gets a bracket since my air cleaner has the capture nut for a bracket

Is this for a 6 cyl. if so, I can send a picture tomorrow. One of the head bolts has a longer nut that allows a bolt from the A/C support bracket to attach to

I've never seen a brace on the V8.

It's possible Bob that it doesn't I may have the wrong air cleaner it's the one that came with the truck and it fits the top of the carb. and clamps tight on it. I just thought since it has the capture nut on the side that it should have a support bracket.

No support bracket on V8's. This one is correct for the V8.
