Trying to find a spare tire rack for a 64 step side. The one that goes on the driver side fender. If anyone can help please email me at embryjay@yahoo.com and put spare rack in subject please.

 

Welcome to FTE

F100/250: The left rear fender has a cut-out for the tire, the rack mounts to the bedside. Is this an F100, F250 or F350? The F350 has a 9' Flareside bed, doesn't require a cut-out fender.

If you have an F100 or F250, and the fender does not have the cut-out, there is no way to mount the spare.

I recently found one a these (F100) for another FTE member, know where there are a coupla others. These are NOS (New Old Stock), not used.

Just like last time, I'm posting the info here. I'm not gonna email the info because someone else may need a rack.

btw: Flareside: Ford / Stepside: Chevrolet

 

I am glad to hear the difference about the flair side. That I honestly did not relise. Again TY. You said they where a NOS part. I need one of them if possible. Yes the truck has the cut out in the fender for the spare.

You better tell Dennis Carpenter about "stepside\flareside. His catalog is loaded w\ stepside references

 

Maybe some will think I'm **** about this but what the heck...
This is a site which is ENTIRELY about FORD product...Right?

So using Chevy terms to describe Fords is offensive to me.

I understand that a number of people are ignorant of the proper terms like jayembry. He's said "thanks" for the info. Some people insist on using Chevy terms even though they know better and get their dander up when corrected. Perhaps when I see someone asking about Stepside trucks, I should refer them to a site about Chevy products.

If Dennis Carpenter, which is a business that's been selling parts for Ford trucks since the 1970s still uses Chevy Terms, it suggests the personnel probably don't know much about what they're selling. That doesn't encourage me to buy from them. Maybe a bunch of us should call asking for parts for Chevys and refer to their catalog pages showing references to "Stepsides"...

Examples of Ford terms which often get replaced with Chevy terms:
- Flareside/Stepside
- Styleside/Fleetside
- Supercab/Extended Cab

It's like going to buy a bag of chips labeled "Limon" and shows a Lime. Limon translates to lemon. The word for Lime is "Lima". More illiterate dummies who don't know what they're selling. I don't know about the business they're in, but in my line of work, one needs to know about what one is doing. Would you be happy in a doctor's office when the doctor asks the nurse to hand him that thingamajig? Or refers to your ********* as "ovaries"?

I'm plenty tolerant of people who are new to something and aren't familiar with the nomenclature. I'm happy to help inform those who haven't learned something before. But if they claim to be knowledgeable and then use incorrect terms, I don't like dealing with them and I'm inclined to be harsh on them for it..

Thanks numberdummie for that correction.

 

When I went to Carpenter's in 2004 (to buy 1963 Galaxie parts), the fellow who waited on me (Tom) was an ex-Ford partsman.

We communicated using Ford part numbers, the other counter peeps had absolutely no clue what we were talking about.

Not only does Carpenter use the terms Flareside/Stepside indiscriminately, but has made-up Ford part numbers in his catalogs.

Most peeps don't know the difference, since they have no Ford parts catalogs to verify. But, there are a few of us that do know...what's correct and...what ain't!

 

Just wanted to put out a very big THANK YOU to Number Dummy

 

BIG THANK YOU to Number Dummy

 

If you guys think I''m **** about it, you should hear my 17 year old son ragging on racers while Tech Inspecting a Ford race truck with a Chevy engine. He's merciless!

 

"posi" is a Chevrolet term also, used by Ford truck owners all the time.

 

JH are you (posi) tive about that???? I think you are there are alot of Ford guys on this site that are pretty (posi) tive about things sometimes. Maybe they should use a little more limited slip allowing for a little slippage before fully engaging somtimes.

 

Absolutely, POSItively sure about that. BTW I will except Trak-Lok.

 

Positraction is a Chevrolet trademark name. Traction-Lok is Ford's. Trak-Lok is a Dana term. Dana axles may be found in some Ford trucks.
For a reference to someone who agrees with me:

Hahahahaaaaaa, as the hub cap turns, hahaa
