unless my memory is failing me, the brace was something that showed up during the 1972 model run - but maybe it was before the 1972 model run?
I cannot immediately recall when they started showing up, but generally speaking I have observed (and recall) that for 1973+ all had the brace, for 1970 none had the brace, and I had thought that it was safe to assume that all but a few 1971's didn't have the brace either.
I am confident I will be corrected if my memory is failing me.
