Part Question

One of the problems with buying a truck half disassembled (the whole front end was stripped when I got it) is trying to understand where the various parts go.

I know where this part goes (i'm holding it up in the proper location in the 2nd pic I believe), but what is the part called, and is there supposed to be any type of rubber strip between this part and the chassis where is mounts?

Thanks in advance, Jim

Edit: This is on a 55 F100 by the way

That's where it goes and bolts directly to the cross member. It's a stone deflector..

I think the part is called a air deflector or gravel shield....not sure about a rubber strip.
