Because the standard spare tire carrier was under the bed - no extra cost (standard equipment).
An underbed tire carrier was standard on a 1954 3100 half ton truck? I did not know that but it would explain some of my questions. Thinking back just about every somewhat original 3100 I have seen had a left side mount spare tire. Does anyone have any pics of the original underbed tire carrier or know any place that sells a reproduction? Thanks again
