What year do you have? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | I think that Tim has a 1951 Suburban. If that style of tire-carrier is the same as on my 1954 1/2 ton Suburban, it is the style with a drop-down "arm" (not a slide-out arm). I'll see if I can find a photo. Tim Czechman has posted a link to a nice set of photos. Thanks, Woody. | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | Yes 1951 was the first year for that style Tim. and if I rember right the master parts showed tham as another number then that of the pickup. Let me know next time your our this way and we can swing by and you can look photo and put the tape to mine here not far from the shop.

The earlier ones had a bolt that attached about center inside the barn doors on the sill. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | Thanks for the replys.I need to post some pictures of the one on my suburban.

I'm fairly certain it has never been touched. It has the original tire still in it. I live in Parkville. I think we talked a couple of years ago at the all truck nationals.
