Does something belong between the inner and outer fender? ...Fenderwelt? ...Rubber Insulation or just metal on metal?

Not sure about the 56 F100 model year trucks but my 49 F1 had what's called "anti Squeak" cloth like material between the inner & outer fenders.

Both of my '53s were metal to metal.

The parts/service books don't show anything.

The same applies to the rear fenders. No welting between them and the bed side.

The only thing my 55 had was between the front rock guard and the fenders. It was some kind of buffer material.
I do not know if that was original or not, but the rock guard sure did not look like it had ever been removed.

I opted to add the welting for the rear fenders. I like the look.

rear fenders to bed side got a small amount of anti-squeak. Actually the top of the inner fenders to to front fenders should get a small amount.
door inspection covers got it as did the running boards to rear fenders. Front gravel pan to fenders and air deflectors too. I put the stuff everywhere that 2 body panels meet but not so much that it squeezes out and makes a mess

What material did they use?

The stuff I removed from my rock guard looked like some kind of butyl tape.
