Coil spring clamp. They hold the rear coil springs in place.
Top and bottom. I think the bottom ones hold water.

Just about 1/2 of the ones we pull out look like that. That area is famous for water to collect and stay damp.

Re: 45 year old gear.

I recently did mine, ordered everything from LMC. I'm happy with the improved ride and drive quality. I went back stock height. Might want to look at your track bar and trailing arms bushings as well.

Re: 45 year old gear.

Yeah, gotta figure out the size for the bushings. LMC shows 1/2 and 3/4 inch bushings. the truck is at a buddy's house cause he's got the professional tools and most of the smarts.
