Brace ID Question

I'm pretty sure these are for either the steps behind the cab and/or the front or rear fenders. Can anyone tell me or send a picture of yours and how they attach? I would really appreciate it. 62 F-100 Flare Side Short bed

Far left set looks like the braces in front of the rear fenders on my 66

Far right attach from the back of the rear fender wells to the frame. I'd take pictures but the bed isn't on the truck right now.

Here's a pic from the parts catalog. I can see two of the three already mentioned.

I need one of those part catalogs. My drawing from the CD manual doesn't even show these. Thanks.

The parts catalogs are available on CD, too. Although it is only the final edition of the catalog so it's not always as good as a printed copy from the previous years. I do find it to be well worth the cost.

They have a bunch of them. You'd probably want the 1957-1963 Trucks catalog. That's where I got the drawing I posted above.
