78-79 Factory Stabilizer bracket?

Could someone post a pic of a 78-79 mounting of the stabilizer? I installed a 76 d44 HD in my 67 and am thinking of just going with a single stabilizer instead of the dual that I had. It seems I can use the bracket that the factory steering assist was bolted to but it seems a little overkill. So, I was curious what the 78-79 bracket looked like. Also, where it mounts to the tie rod, was it a eyelet type mount or what ? Thanks

Jconic, can't really make out the brackets.

Numbers, I see the sway bar set up but not the steering stabilizer.

You said 'stabilizer' bracket, so I posted a pic of the sway (stabilizer) bar.

The only other pic I can post is of the F100/F150 4WD front track bar.
