Side mount spare

It seems a '56 F-1 is hardly ever seen at a show (in recent years) to which a side mount spare hasn't been fitted. For what model years was a side-mount offered, please & thx

No F1's after 1952.

1953/56 F100/350; 1957/72 F100/350 Flaresides; 1973/79 F100/250 Flaresides. Spare tire located on the left side of the bed. The left rear fender is cut out for tire clearance on F100/250's.

F350's have a 9' Express bed, it's long enough that the spare fits up against the side of the bed without needing a cut out rear fender.

F350 Flaresides not available after 1972.

My Ford dealer literature says the side mount spare was first an option in 1954. Of course a 53 could be retrofitted to get a side mount spare.

correct info there. The 48-56 catalog made the change to include the 53, but 53 never came with the side mount.

D6TZ-1433-A (replaced BAAA-1433-A & B7C-1433-A) .. Left Hand Spare Tire Carrier / Obsolete

SAME: 1953/56 F100; 1957/79 F100 & 1975/79 F150 Flaresides.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Lower pic: Here's the 1973/79 pic: F250's use a different carrier because they have 8 lug wheels.

Just to throw some undue confusion into the mix, my catalog from 11/54 shows 4 different side mount carriers for 53-55.
53-55 C Pickup (F100) BAAA 1433 B
53-55 D Pickup (F250) BBAA 1433 A
53-54 Y Pickup (F350) BCAA 1433 A
55 Y Pickup B4Y 1433 A

Interestingly, no mention of Bill's original number, BAAA 1433 A

Several years ago, I found (2) D6TZ-1433-A .. Both were purchased within a week, one by the member who first asked, then another came along and bought the other.
