I need a spare tire rack for my 1946 ford truck. There's no room to mount a spare under the truck. I guess it would have to be mounted inside the bed or on the outside between the rear fender and cab. Anyone have any ideas where I can get a rack and where the best place to mount it?

 

The factory location was behind the driver door. (see frame) Where to find one? Don't know on that.

 

Here's a close up of it (since I was here and had nothing better to do )



PS: When you look all bed same 1938-50 (had raised panel), 51-72 very similar and raised panel doesn't affect tire mount, so you can expand your search.

 

Thanks, That's where I'll mount it when I find a rack.

 

The spare tire mount is sold by Northern CLassic, who also make all types of reproduction steel parts for the 42-49 Ford trucks. I think they charge about $100 for the part.

 

Thanks! this is what I needed.
