Getting my 52 3/4 ton back together after 18 year and I’m not sure where these brace rods go. Any help would be great. Thanks

They go between the radiator support and the lower radiator baffle.

See how they fit in the factory holes, they should be readily available, perhaps someone will post a picture. Do you have any manuals?

I had those braces left over, thought they were for something else. I left them on the shelf for 10 years.

Not shown on Shaffer's pic, but the center vertical support goes where I circled in red. The support rods connect near the top of that and extend down to the apron to holes I can't see in this is pic. Notice the center vertical support is offset to the driver's side, so the shorter rod would go on the driver's side.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
