Don’t know what size rig your running but they are your front fender support my 55 has four of them for each fender front and rear four all total the rear mount behind the wheel and bolt to the bed the front mount on the front of the wheel and bolt to the front radiator mount plate illustrated in your maintenance manual picture you posted. It attaches the front gravel pan, I think they call it that. Only nut

yes your 56 f100 had front and rear just as you stated but there are additional support rods on the larger trucks and that is what is circled.
your f100 front fender braces were not round stock and the additional braces for the f700 and up are exactly that, round stock just as the pic shows

Gosh! It isn't my intention (nor likely that of others) to come across as touchy! Just want to be sure the best information is out there and eliminate any confusion for the benefit of all!
