Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Research on the spare tire hangar for my pickup has turned almost nothing in the Chevy literature. Although getting help from fellow Bolters, there are no images within the owner's manual, shop manual or my old 42 Chevy parts manual. I have seen some factory drawings and while similar they do not show all the parts that came with this truck over 30 years ago and I believe they are correct and complete. I'll post a link so you guys can have a look. Any info would be appreciated. http://rides.webshots.com/album/582371665xpYwSg

I'm using it on my 50.
I could not find that style carrier in the 47-54 factory assembly manual, Hopefully someone will have some info for you
What is the item under the j hook in the second pic? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | DADS50, That item is the factory lock, it's a cast iron piece and locks on to a special nut on the 'J' hook. I believe this lock was used on later years also. The locks are getting hard to find and expensive. FOUND PICS-in my old 41 Salesmens Truck data book, pics of light duty and 3/4 ton tire carrier called Monorail carrier. Also checked in my 42 parts manual, no pics but part numbers are the same for 41 and 42, see attached Webshots link. http://rides.webshots.com/album/582371665xpYwSg

Still would like to se a detailed blow up out of a Chevy parts book which may show all the associated parts. I'm thinking a 1941 parts manual may have such a drawing. Have three of you now that confirm this type of carrier system I've shown is what's on their 41-46 pickups. http://rides.webshots.com/album/582371665xpYwSghttp://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/1941asi/41asi115.htm (also see pg 116) Regards Jim
