Had/have the same brackets and a second spring pack on top of the normal springs (14 total if I remember correctly). Oh course, for the smaller 1/2 ton transverse spring trucks.
There is a thread on 38/39 trucks with pictures. Not sure where its at. Don't think anyone makes pads as it is not something that most would restore (numbers too low to produce).
Brackets are ubolted to the rear axle and hook under the rear wishbone freely. Brackets look to be a system setup to catch the spring if the shackles break or a spring eye let loose. Get you home maybe, for sure won't let the spring hit the dirt at 30mph.
