I'm with Ax on this one. Heads are too big for running boards.

Yup, bumper bolts. I'm just guessing here....the shorter bolts are probably for the holes that just go through the bumper and the frame bracket, the longer ones through the bumper, the frame bracket, and an additional support bracket....usually the outer holes.

That depends on what they are off of, or if they are aftermarket.
Most of the cars and trucks from the 60's that I have worked on had chrome bumper bolts.
