Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
I have a spare tire holder that bolts to the running board of my ‘36 half ton but it’s not made for the wide five bolt spacing. It came with my project. Did Ford make an adapter to fit this wheel? I plan to just make the triangular bracket because it can’t be seen with the tire installed, but I was curious if anyone had seen these larger brackets. A pic would be nice.
Thx

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
it also bolts into the side of the box. This is what you are looking for. This is only the rim mounting part.
The two small holes are for the cap bracket. The center hole is for the long bolt that goes into the box, and the lower hole is where it mounts to the vertical bracket the goes down into the running board. A quick google search shows that there are some for sale. |

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
This is how mine looks. Are you saying that the larger triangular bracket also mounts to the lower bolt that goes into the box? Mine has been altered sometime in the last 80 plus years...

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
Nope. Sorry, you are correct -- the bolt that goes through to the box is correct as your picture shows.
Yours does look like it is not of original manufacture. |

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
knock the two lower studs out and put them back into the lower two holes-how close does this come to fitting the wide five?

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
Tim I'd just do what you are thinking. If you can't find an original. Fab it out of plate (add a longer bolt and additional spacer of the bed bolt for 2 points to plate.
38-39s brackets bolt up the same way with one through the bed. On 38 it does have two plate mounting points. One over the bed point and one at the bed to plate. You most likely have earlier truck spare tire hardware. In 36-39 there is a hoop and a locking cap for wide five. You don't have to have it. But just so you know. Nice book to "pickup" for these early ford trucks. 1932-1952 Ford trucks, Mack Hils. Not heavy on specifics but good for reference to outer details. 1936 trucks Last edited by Tinker; 05-09-2020 at 10:19 PM. |

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
The rod part of yours is for a 35 pickup or panel. The correct 36 bar like piece also fits a 37 and does not have that bend at the top. The correct 36/7 bar has an "eye" in the middle and an "eye" at top, unlike the 35 which has the bend on top with the threaded piece on the end. The 36 and 37 rod and spare tire carrier are fairly plentiful, especially compared to the 35 bar which was a one year part for the 35-37 series of commercial vehicles. The spare mounting flange for the wide 5 is pretty much the same for 36-39 making them relatively common. The 38/9 bar is not the same as 35 or 36/7, having 2 "eyes" in the middle and not one like the 36/7.

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
Timstruck….The 35-37's used the same running boards with the 35/6 additionally using the same bed and pretty much the same frame. The different spare mounting rods for the 35 and the 36/7 will mount up with no problem; the issue is the spare mounting flange. If you decide to use a factory locking spare on the wide five 36, the 35 and 36/7 locking spare setups will not interchange either.

Re: Wide Five Spare Tire Holder
I’m not familiar with the locking setup...didn’t know there was such a thing for the trucks.
