The Ford Barn

I am new to the forum and need help ID'ing a part to a 1938 Ford 1 Ton Model 81Y Platform Truck. I am Restarting a restoration begun with my father 40 years ago. Having a problem with this part. I have attached pictures. Thank you all

I think that is a part that goes between the frame rails and then
the u-bolts that holds the flat bed on goes through it.
The part number may be 81Y-5115 frame side member spacer.
