Those are part of the structure to stiffen 47/48 cabs with the center cab mount and two rubber bumpers out at the frame rail .

Did the corner pieces come in the 48 flavour? I was of the understanding that it was early 47 only. Yes, I remember that the cabs were center mount rears with rubber bumpers on the end. I was asked to do the conversion to 48+ with the two side shackles and cab mounts.

47/48 with the center cab mount at the back of the cab. My original cab had those but the right cowl side was tweaked in a wreck in 1976 when the front axle also got bent double. My buddy JD Fikes called in some favors and rounded up the axle and fender pretty reasonable.

sorry the pic isn't great, but you get the idea.
