    Where's Ken?

    I haven't been able to contact Ken by phone, email or posting on this forum since about 7PM Saturday night. Must be on a bender. Or he left for Tennessee early.

    Ron, in answer to your question

    I am certainly no expert at what year the spare tire carriers changed, all I know is my 50 is different than my 51 donor truck.

    spare tire carrier 2.jpg

    spare tire carrier 3.jpg

    The first pic shows the track that it slides into. Note that the track is riveted on. Second pic shows the pieces that make up the carrier. Third pic shows the spare tire mounted to the carrier and in the down position.

    My 51 donor truck carrier is a totally different set up that swings down and around. (if it weren't so rusty:D)

    Hope that helps.

    Ken
