On my 32 1/2 ton pickup there is one rear fender that has a brace inside on the back and the other does not. Is this extra or do I need to build one for the other side? Thanks Me again

The brace inside the rear fenders were factory installed during 1932 1/2 ton truck production. I don't have an accurate time or date. If you are making additional braces I need several. I have looked for a good example for a number of years without success to date. I would appreciate a text or email photo.
