Default What are these?

When I restored my 54 vette I got a large amount of parts with it. All the parts are gone now except for these two pieces. I just found them too interesting to get rid of and I just ran across them again. They look like battery post connectors to me but not sure. They are solid brass with a grease fitting on each one. Any guesses?

Wow, I'm so smart! I have never seen anything like these. What cars use them or are they just an aftermarket part?

I have no idea if they were ever used on a production vehicle. Perhaps large trucks...???

Thanks for the info. I do know that these are at the least from the early 70's, which is when the former owner bought the 54. I think I'll stick them on the wall with the rest of the old corvette stuff I have.
