Each of these rubber pieces attach to a metal bracket with large staples, similar to the rubber A-arm splash aprons on Chevy cars. The brackets then attach to the col with several screws. From my experience, they were only foun that I partedd on Cheyenne/ Cheyenne Super trucks. (They are not necessary for fender install. Most trucks didn't have them.) I don't believe that the brackets are available repro. I have a pair from a 71 Cheyenne that I am installing on my 72 Army truck budgt build. I suppose their purpose was to quiet the passenger compartment from engine noise (?) (Unfortunately, I forgot to install them before I mounted my fenders.) I will post pics of the brackets if I can remember to take photos of them.
