I recently removed the bed wood on the truck and am trying to figure out what this is.

My truck is a 1955 1st series. This is mounted on the axle pointing up. Anyone know what this is?
Thanks

I'd guess it is a mount for an after market booster spring.

Aftermarket coil spring overloads used a contraption like this.
