Default Bracket ID help

Anyone know what these are for? I got them along with a sway bar and set of boxed lower control arms I bought for a 70 Chevelle SS. These were included, but furnished loose. I can't seem to figure out what they are, no part numbers on them anywhere and no obvious application. They almost look like bumper brackets or something. Slotted holes on one end. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help ID these.

Those are the F41 Rear support frame brackets.They bolt to the same support as the Boxed lower control arm,then trail up to the top of the mid Rear frame rail,over the pumpkin.They should be around 18 inches long.They prevent twisting of the frame,and cloners almost ALWAYS forget to include these.It's one of the first things I look for on a questionable car.

Great info, thanks to all those who PMed me as well. Who says you don't get something for nothing? The fellow that included them with the arms and bar claimed they went "somewhere under there" but couldn't remember how or where. Looks like I've got another part of the F-41 package that I didn't even bargain for. Cool.
