Yes they are short clips. That is the spare tire and it was on the truck. The bed has a tag that says the perfection steel body co. Its a neat spare holder as the one side lays over so you can roll the tire on and off of it. I will have to post some more pictures of the whole truck.

That does look like it might be a hard to find GM accessory big truck spare tire carrier. Been looking for one of those for years.

Would that be The Perfection Steel Body Co of Galion, Ohio? If so, they also made the grain bed on my '46 2-ton. Cooler yet is i live just 15 miles from Galion!

Hey, your truck looks to be in good shape. From the video I didn't see any rust in the cab corners, etc. I see your kids like the truck too considering the toys in the back, LOL....
