You're not the first. You don't have to cut one off of another truck. Nissan refers to it as a "bracket-tension rod" and it can be purchased brand new through Nissan for about $75. The old one will have to be cut off and the new one welded on, though. The part is listed in the frame section of the Nissan parts catalog. It would probably be a good idea to get a new tension rod, sleeve and bushings.
