The brackets are for attaching adjustable length rods with integral small shock absorbers between the truck and camper overhead. They were intended to reduce freeway bouncing due to expansion joints in the pavement. Mine were called "Bounce Away".

The first pic show a bracket installed before the resto and the second shows the Bounce Aways installed when the truck and camper were new. If I remember, I'll post a closeup of one of the Bounce Aways in a few days.
