Looking for help locating a spare tire carrier for my 66 F100 LWB under bed mount. Anyone one have or know where to locate one. I'm in the NE no yard items available here. I've exhausted ebay and craigslist searches. Looks like 61-72 should fit. Can anyone confirm?

Yup, if the later truck's frame is 34" the cradle will fit.

 

Thanks for the reply and confirming the years for me. Does anyone know where I can find one?

 

To the best of my knowledge you'll need 5 pieces altogether to make an original mounting system.


C5TZ-1443-A - Spare Wheel Carrier Channel. (assumes you did not have 19.5 inch wheels)


C5TZ-1408-C - Spare Wheel Carrier Support Bolt. Overall length including loop 12 9/16"


353735-S100 - Bolt-Channel to Frame-left (drivers) side / 1/2" -13 x 10 1/2" long


384581-S100 - Clip and Blind Nut - retains bolts to frame (2 each of these)


You can see examples of the long bolts if you scroll down a bit in this post.

The only pieces I can find still available NOS is the last one - the clip and blind nut. They probably are going to be a hex nut instead of the original style square nut, but they will be correct size and function properly.


Some people use carriers from other trucks, like S10. Search this forum for spare tire carrier and read a few.
