What are these and where do they go?

I took out front grill to put in a new one and before I could get the new grill in I had to go pick up wife with a flat tire on her bike. I drove down the road hear some rattling and then I hear something hit the road and I run one of these things over. Now I am not sure if I need these things or not, I am sure they go somewhere in the front but just not sure where.

They look like cab supports that go from the frame rail to the rocker panels........

Those look like grille supports. They attach to the radiator support to mount the factory plastic grille.

LOL, that always seen to happen to me when I work on cars. I always seem to have extra parts and extra screws left over when I am done. I guess of they were just for the grill then I don't need them since I have another in it's place.

Grill supports and look to be the GMC variety as Chevy grilles have a tendency to sit back further.
