Thanks Dan.
Yes, this is the only diagram that I’ve found for the wheel carrier.
Kinda scratching my head on this one bevaothe spare tire side mount was first offered in 53, but the illustrations only show 54-55?
Very true, this book is the go to for all of us stovebolters.
And side by side with the GMC version, they both cover a few things that one or the other don’t have.
After I did this post, I went out to the garage & actually put the tire mount up against the bed side.
In comparison to pictures & diagrams that I’ve been looking at, it is pretty self-explanatory, where the side mount should go.
I’ll take some pictures as I go along & share them here.
GM aftermarket products for the A.D. came with individual instructions & templates for installation.
If my memory is correct? the FAM does not cover some of these.
Spotlight, foglights, exterior passenger side rear view mirror, passenger side interior visor, bumper & grill guards & windshield washer kit, hood ornament….
Thanks Dan for your time.
