    Swing Down Underbed Tire Carrier

    Ron ;

    You're in lock as the swing down typ was used well into the 1960's and they're everywhere , just go look in the P-A-P yards out in Lancaster... (IIRC you're out that way ?) .

    I know guys who've used brand 'F' swing down parts and no one ever noticed... :rolleyes:

    I need the sliding typ .

    Me , I'm chugging along day by day , I wonder if I'll ever be whole again or ride a moto . life will suck if I cannotride or work with my hands :(

    I sleep more now , maybe 5 hours at a time but the constant pain is a bugger as it makes me grumpy .

    I'm glad to be alive tho' :p

    It's chilly out here in Las Vegas , windy too ~ in the mid 30's and a constant 35 MPH wind . folks here are bundled up like it's Wisconsin , makes me giggle and SWMBO keeps hassling meto wear a jacket , I don't wanna .

    It's nice & dry , so far nothing with a 235 in it , usually I see a few .

    You , Me ,

    & the baby makes three......

    Everyone needs this thing .

    If I find two , you'll get one . :rolleyes:

    If you find two , build up a really nice one and let me have the rest , as I said before : it's for my work truck so I'll de-rust and weld up a nasty one .

    Do you understand how pooly designed this thing is ? it slops the spare tire down into the mud when you're changing a flat on the side of that farm to market road in 1953....... this is why they're hard to find ~ most farmers tossed it as hard and far as they could , the very first time they used it...
