Those bars are called Kudu bars ,they were installed to fix front end hop.For better steering. They work but also crack the metal on fire wall,by top mount. I have 1956 GMC 1/2 ton Napco 4x4 . Some builders remove them,others reinstall.

This was GM's fix for the hop. A lot of 1/2 tons had them .Maybe the ones without never returned for the recall .These were used on 1956 and 57 only I have tech sheet if you want copy Email me ,two pages
