Cab construction - What are these?
I am in the midst of surgery with my 68 C10.
Noticed these on another guys post. What are these metal pieces for?

1st pic: fuel tank mounts, done away with in later models.
2nd pic: you can buy ears to reinforce the mounts, breaking is common. |

Fuel tank mounts! Duh. Thanks.
Any chance you have a link to the reinforcement pieces?

Thanks man.
Mine is actually rusted out and I didn't know what to search. I ordered some replacement panels at the local parts joint. $9.95 each, just isn't worth making it from scratch!
