Calling all elder statesmen,

I just noticed something about other 58 Apaches. I have the tire rack on the fender. I have seen many pictures of other 58's that do not have this. Was it an option or do people buy after market to get rid of it? Is it more are?

Little Help Please...thanks


What have I gotten myself into?

65 C10
