Where's this part go?

The truck in question is a 79 F150.
The trucks been torn apart for a while now and we're putting back together but can't figure out where this part goes. There's two of them!
Please help!



Don't know where this goes on my 79 F150

Those look like the hood hinge area stiffener brackets I have seen on some 78-79 pickups and broncos. What you have pictured-from what I can remember would go between hood and hood hinge.

My truck doesn't have them but i have seen them on other trucks in salvage yards.

As mentioned above. Part of the factory solution to having the hood keep from hitting the windshield in event of a front end collision. I see you got the center piece in place.
See the circular cut out on the side of the hood, about in the middle? Supposed to help the hood " bend" in case of collision.
