K10,these came out of my 1951 Chevrolet suburban.
These supports do rest in between the headliner bows.The brass fasteners mount through the cardboard headliner to the supports.Each support has two fasteners,they look like paper fasteners.The head on the fasteners are just under 7/16" dia(27/64") and are 1 1/4" long.
The two short supports measure 21 3/8" end to end.
The four long supports measure 29 1/4" end to end.
Here are some better pictures for you to look at.
