Anyone got a pic or schematic for the bottom reinforcing bracket for a AD 3/4 ton side tire carrier?
You failed to mention the year of truck you need this info. on mapes.
The 1953 inside the bed side reinforcement bracket is the same for 1/2 , 3/4 and 1 ton models {pictured}.
Very rarely do you see them when you do find a carrier.
The last '54-'55.1 side bracket I ran across had a simple flat piece of strap as the reinforcement bracket.
