Look like fender braces.
Ya might want to pick up an assembly manual. See http://www.fillingstation.com for one. |

They might go from the firewall to the rad support.
Something like this on my 57 |

No but thanks for the input G&R's57GMC the rad support braces are different i can usually figure stuff out and where it goes.
But for some reason i cant figure out where these go or if they even go |

Look closely at the rear fender behind the wheel see the brace . Looks like it goes to the bed side from the fender.

Re: What do these support rods go to?
You are close. They actually go from about the same attach points on the firewall to a bracket that attaches to the 2nd and 3rd bolts from the front on the seam where the inner and outer fenders join together if I remember correctly. It's been over 10 years since I removed mine.

Re: What do these support rods go to?
I'm pretty sure that those two go from the radiator support to the pan behind the grill and angle down and in from the sides. They are another piece that is often left out in a build and that allows for more squeaks and ill fitting parts.
