The illustrations in the parts book do not show the exact part
used on any specific vehicle. They are generic illustrations
meant to direct you to the proper group for that family of
parts. For instance, they may have a wheel illustrated and
labeled as group 5.803 but there are nearly five dozen
different part numbers for wheels listed. Obviously they
couldn't illustrate all five dozen of them.
This has been a subject of debate in the past, but my feeling
is that the illustrations of the carriers show the pre-AD
style for the 1/2 ton and the AD style for the 3/4 ton.
In reality the early 3100 and 3600 AD carriers are very
similar. The only difference I've noticed is in the rear mount
for the slide. In fact, the carrier on my truck is actually a
3100 with a new rear slide mount that I fabricated. The 3100
and 3600 crossmembers are in different locations and at different heights.
