The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Under bed tire carrier question

Thanks for info Denny.
I got a hold of an original tire carrier but was missing the top saddle peice. I had never even seen how it all goes together so I built the top saddle myself. I assumed that it squeezed the side wall of tires downward. but I see now that it actually only touches the center of rim and both its ends are bent upward to come against frame cross member.
Thanks again
