Don't know what they are for but are not stock.

Definitely added by a previous owner.

My bet is someone had shocks on them.

Probably added for an extra steering stabilizer.

That looks like a rear axle based on the shock brackets and brake line bracket on the diff cover bolt.

Oh I didn't notice that lol. Then shock mounts

Shock stud.

<grabs mig welder> "needs a shock right about, here"

 

[Bennyt]

While I agree probably for extra shock...I do find it odd as being so medial, I would think it would be a rough ride and I would also think break off easily as its literally welded in a shear position.

Looks like a stud for a shock mount...without much reinforcement.

Here ya go… use something like this properly and it won’t be there any more.

What about a poor attempt at a track bar mount?

 

[Ricko1966]

I think that's a Pinto rearend,that's the bolt that ruptures the gas tank

Axels have those. Axles don't.

Yes, correct. Those are Foley's, Axel Foley's.
