First I would like to say hi and introduce myself to the forum. New to the forum and finally got back to putting together a "52 3600 that have had for about 20 years, wow time goes by. Parts have been moved several times and never did have anything but lots of parts when got the project years ago. Was hoping I could get some info on parts which I have no idea what they are for, if they go to a 3600 at all. Attached are the pictures and would greatly appreciate any help at all, thanks in advance

Spare tire supports. They attach to the frame above where the spare goes.

Thanks to both of you for the info. Been so long since these parts were put in storage I would have never even thought about the spare tire.

Sort of the same on the parts for the bed, since never had the truck when all together I was having a heck of a time trying to figure out what all parts needed to assemble the bed to the frame.
had a couple really bad rusted sills and when I went to order new ones I never could find a reference to a 3600 front sill, they always listed 1/2 ton front sills, never did get that all straightened out yet.

Michael,
I have a '53 3600 which is a daily driver. I think I have some pics somewhere of me bed re-assembly--PM me and I'll see if I can find them for you. I can probably help out with putting everything back together!

How about these parts ? Strip is about 26 inches and the crossmember differs from my others since it has the ears on the ends of it

Mike,

Is the strip the one on the right (pictured on top of a washing machine)? If it's 26" long, it's not a bed part.

Is the crossmember the same length as the others? I've never seen one with ears like that...
