Does anybody know what types of spare tire carriers were available for the Advanced Design Chevy 3100 1/2 ton truck, (49-54)? I've got a '49 with part of the assembly missing. Factory Assembly Manual shown numerous variations but most are of the pivot arm style. Mine is some sort of sliding track assembly and I'm missing at least the sliding track part. I've yet to see a photo or diagram of this style. Was the track type not very common? Is there a picture or diagram in any other Chevy literature? Thanks in advance!
