OK, this pictures shows 4 items that are found on a lot of trucks, but not all. Actually, all trucks have similar items, though they vary depending on how the truck is optioned. (I can't say any more without giving it away.) These are roughly 1/2" in diameter.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

Yes, FoMoCo got it right :thup: ...those are the dowels inserted into the deck of the block for locating the cylinder heads.

Image

FYI: All Ford I6's and small-blocks (302/351/400) use the same, and FE's and 335's (429/460) use another. The ones pictured above are the FE/335 style.
