Hi guys. I'm another owner of a 1949 3100 that is missing parts for the tire carrier. Mine is an angled channel that starts ahead of the bumper and goes toward the rear end.
Talked with a representative of Chevys of the 40's. They have a part number listed, #358451, but it has no price and none available at this time. However, the rep told me that
they are taking names and if enough are interested, the overseas manufacturer might fabricate them.
Thought I'd put this out there so more people would call and spur some interest to get this done. https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/
