1008/1009 frame stiffners and engine frame bracket kit

As I've mentioned in past posts, I'm a Squarebody kid...so my joys are found in increasing the versatility and resiliency of my "old trusty rusty bucket'o bolts"...of which the CUCV world has given me much to ponder on.

2 items I've recently come across that peak my interest are some stiffner/reinforcement kits. I vaguely recall the stiffners had something to do with the ability to crane the trucks on/off a rail car, but I have no knowledge of the engine brackets.

Might any of you wealth of knowledge individuals be so kind as to give me the finer points of the meaning of life to these gizmos? TIA

I seen them engine bracket kits before but NEVER on a CUCV. Not sure what the point would be. Did an engine fall out?
I seen many of the frame flange stiffener reinforcements. They were not on the earlier model CUCV's. It became standard about midway thru the 1985 model build year. I still have a set of them on a front frame section. I hope that answers your question. Thank you.
