Doesn't sound right, can you post a picture? Are the tubes steel or rubber? It could be they are bushings to adapt '53 - '56 cab dogbones to some earlier truck with smaller bolts? But there should be 4 if that were the case.

They are replacement liners that go in the cast arm support for the rear part of the cab. If you replace arms you won't need them. If yours are still good, drive out old ones and replace with these new liners. Hope this helps. Ken

The original arms were stamped steel, superseded by the 53-56 style which are cast iron. The iron ones are much better, but getting a set to NZ may not be worth the difference.
