Any Advance docks for ThinkPad T470?

[ThinkPad560X]

Seeing that the ThinkPad T470 is the last dockable thinkpad, I was wondering if there are any advance docks for the T470? The T480 does have a same style dock as the T470 but it plugs onto the side where the USB C / thunderbolt is, but the bottom docking is the classic way. I would like to have a dock like what my ThinkPad 600X has, the SelectaDock III or like what my ThinkPad T61 has with a single PCIe slot. But from what I am seeing 40A1 / 40A2 is the only docks I see, and the rest of Lenovo docks are USB / USB-C docks. Would of liked to add a small powerful graphics card like I did for my T61s dock.

This is the dock I have for my T60-T500 https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Thinkpad-A ... 4226901084
I guess this dock went up in value. Mine has the IBM ThinkPad badge, some came with the silver ThinkPad badge later on.

By the way the ThinkPad W700 will work on this dock. I removed the top plastic base on the dock to test it and it powered on the machine and read the dock. I didn't have the AC Adapter for W700 at the time and this was the only way to power it on. But the dock is back together and unfortunately the W700 doesn't officially fit the dock.

There aren't any Lenovo docks with PCIe slots since then. Not even the T410-T430 generations (CS09) had that kind of dock.

That said, the T470 has a Thunderbolt 3 port, which opens up new options with regards to having an external GPU.

I don't see a thunderbolt port on my T470. Just a USB-C and power AC in. The T480 has the USB-C / thunderbolt where the power AC in was on T470.

The USB-C on the T470 is Thunderbolt.

There is mention of USB-C Thunderbolt 3 support on the T470 PSREF:
