What are these little cables for-they mount on the engine

These were mounted on the frame right on top of the engine stands-are they heat shields??

Frame brackets-exhaust hangers?

thanks in advance

The first pic is of the two ground straps that ground the engine to the cab. The split end fastens to the rear of the valve covers with the hold down screw and the other end fastens to the cab.

The second pic is of heat shields as you had surmised.

The third pic is of exhaust hangers/brackets.

LOL, you guys win the right to know alot more about these trucks than I do.

here are some pics of the buddy buckets I have. they are in really nice shape. they just need a little thread work in the backs-not ripped, just coming undone.

Are those exhaust hangers for 2wd or 4wd, or I don't no what I'm talking about. Multiple choice J.
