If you have access to Mack Hil's Ford Pickups book 1932-1952. Look at page 118 and there is a pretty good picture of the bracket with tire band. I have that same bracket on mine and it has a factory brace that attaches to the front side of the stake pocket. We just built a new bed and used nutserts in the pocket. This bracket was welded to the underside of the bed rail on the other bed sides I took off but it is now bolted with 3/8 " short carriage bolts just below the top rail as well as smaller ones at the bottom. Hope this has some value ?
