I've looked in the assembly manual and can't find this track. Is this track part of the tire carrier?
I have an opportunity to purchase a 1953 3/4 GMC tire carrier. Will this fit? Is it the right one? | | |

This is well illustrated in the assembly manual. Basically there is at least one or maybe two pieces of channel attached to the frame. The carrier runs on a diagonal form one of the spring mounts (hanging form a bolt) to the other side of the frame at the back. All the illustrations that I have seen show only a rim stored there. I don't really understand why they carried just a spare rim but I would guess that the whole tire assembly would not fit. | | |

I'm just trying to restore my truck and when I got it the tire/wheel was just sitting in the bed of the truck. Would like to get it where it's suppose to be.
Anyone out there have a 3/4 ton that could share what their carrier looks like and is used for?
Thanks,
Mike | | |
