Front bumper braces, how many?

I just removed my front bumper on my 72 Supreme. Looks like I'm missing a few braces. I am definetly missing the two side braces that attach to the bolts on the sides of the bumper. I only have one brace in the center of the bumper that attaches near the license plate. It is unclear in the Chasis manual if there is suppose to be two? There are holes for a right and left side and I only have a right. So I figure I am missing the left brace that attaches in the center near the license plate? I do have the two bottom braces that attach underneath the bumper on each side. Any knowledge in this area would be much appreciated and if anyone has these braces to sell I would gladly take them off your hands!

one of the side braces goes to the outer edge where the chrome bumper bolt goes on the side and the other goes to the bottom below the parklight.

Hi Chuck
Here's some pictures of a 1971 bumper off the car. As 442 Mustang said three tube style braces each side, plus the large steel braces that bolt to the frame. Let me know which ones you need and I'll start soaking the bolts. John
