62 c10 shortbed stepside - what is this part and what does it do?




I probably should have circled the exact part, but I am wondering what is that tube sticking out of the frame called and what does it do? There's an identical one on the left side of the truck too. I got the truck with the bed not attached.

Thanks, Rod, appreciate it! It had me stumped for a while.
I guess it's better to say it "used to be" a brace in my case

I used a rear fender brace to fabricate a pair of those as I didn't have any when I got my truck "in a box".
If you want to drop by out in China Spring I can show you.
Good luck.
