Sometimes they fall out when disassembling the front clip and people have a hard time figuring out where they came from.....

Not every truck has them and there will usually be a different number of them side to side.

Here is a picture of where the bolts with the large washer go. The "F" shims go between the inner panel and this cab support rail. The shims are made that way so you can start the bolt, then hook the shims over the bolt and they won't fall out while you are tightening the bolt.. The inner panel has a good size square hole in this location.
