I'm not sure the AD carrier will work on your 41. Originals are hard to find and if you do find one they fetch a pretty penny. Jim Carter has a repro one in their catalog, It's kind of high dollar also.
Some people put on a side mount or do without. Or you could do what I did and cobble up one from a modern junkyard crank-up model. I think mine came from a Mazda pu. It works fine.
Good Luck

I know the under bed spare tire carrier was available in 39&40, although they are somewhat different than the carriers used from 41-50. The design change was 1951. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 |  1937 was the first year for mounting the spare tire under the bed. Prior to that time the spare was mounted in front fender wells on the passenger side. The under hung spare tire mounts for the early trucks are as rare as chiken lips. The only one I have seen is the one I have. The device has a two parts. I have seen several of the bed mount parts, but the underhung part that holds the tire up under the bed is tough to find.

I wonder if the 37-38 are the same ? Do you have a picture ? The 36 GMC carries the spare tire in the DRIVERS side front fender BTW.  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 1,377 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 1,377 | I have a 39 or 40 carrier that I am going to use on my 37,I think its a little different then the 37/38 carriers but it was the closest I could find. I still dont have it on the truck yet,I have to get it and the rim for the spare blasted and painted. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 124 Member | | Member Joined: May 2004 Posts: 124 | I used to have one but I threw it away. Who knew the were worth anything? I gotta stop doing stuff like that. I have allways hated those things because you have to crawl under to get the spare off. Of course it is allways raining or snowing.
I like old trucks
