Need help with my spare tire mount
 

Hello all,
I posted a week or so ago about wanting to add the spare tire to my’41 truck. I have a new reproduction bed so I don’t have the bed mount. I also learned that I have running boards that will accept the earlier style mount. I have searched several on line vendors and can’t find anyone that sells either style. Joes antique auto was closed last week but he didn’t have anything in his catalog. I was going to call him this week and see if he could help me. I would prefer to go with the running board mount since I have the bracket on the frame and the hole in the board. I saw a couple of very rough used ones for sale on eBay but I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for. Does anyone have a photo of the running board mount style and the other pieces that I would need to go with it. TIA, Randy

You will also need a R.H. rear fender with the "dent" in it for a runningboard mount...-RG

I have the correct fender.

Didn't Kube post a picture of the running board mount in your other post?

Hey Bob he did. That was the one that mounted to the bed. I have the running board and frame mount that will accept the earlier style. I would like to find that one in the event that I want to remove it and not run the spare it’s not mounted to my bed.

Isn't this the running board mount?

Re: Need help with my spare tire mount
 

If your thinking about this style note that the bracket bolts to the running board as well as a brace that bolts to the side of the bed.

The locking cover is optional.

I’ve seen this style in a photo Pete and I found a very poor looking one that’s in the second photo on eBay. The photo of the style that’s in the first picture is the one that I would like to find.
You know it would not be too hard to make one like the first photo. Well I don’t have the facilities to just saying.

Bob what model truck is that on?

I don't know, that's the picture Kube posted in your other thread.

Early 1940.

Kube any idea where I could find a mount like this? I’ve called around and all I can find is the bedside mount.

I'd never seen one for sale so I wouldn't hold your breath.
I was thrilled to have had that one for my restoration.
