Early 35 passenger cars and pickups used the same locking cap until about Feb of 1935 when the locking strip was introduced. As has be mentioned before the strap interfered with the tire sitting in the running board dip. To fix this, the cap and strap were shifted from the 6 o'clock position to the 4 o'clock position to allow the strap to clear the running board. The stainless skin and lock access cover had to be repositioned also. The attached archive drawing shows both caps. The A1 and A2 designations specify both the Hurd lock cylinder and Briggs & Stratton

Hello Don,

You, Lawson and others have such incredible knowledge of these old trucks. I THANK YOU very much for all the help and knowledge you have passed on that has helped me in getting my '36 Ford pickup running and on the road.

Hello pgpostman,

Here are some more photos of my '36 Ford pickup with the '35 wire wheels and spare tire with mount attached to bed frame rail.

I have a correct 35 locking spare hubcap if anyone is interested. Lawson Cox [email protected].

to 1936 ford pickup ……. Very nice set up on your spare mount. I do not mean to hi-jack this thread but isn't your bracket upside down ? There is another thread here about the valve stem being in the correct position at the TOP as the vehicles left the factory. You will notice a tiny drain hole on the inside of the hub that will tell you the correct position of the spare wheel.

to al's28/33....Thank you for the compliment about the Very nice set up on your spare mount. No problem with hi-jacking this thread. Yes, Don Rogers post #21 above clarifies the correct position. I did see years ago a '35 Ford pickup that had the valve stem in the down position and the bracket going straight up and over the spare tire. I liked the looks of it so I did the same. I also drilled a drain hole 180 degrees from factory.
