'61 Stepside

I've been looking for a spare tire carrier for my F100. It's a stepside, and on the driver's side, the fender is indented to allow for a spare tire. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

I have a complete spare tire carrier for your truck. I just removed it and am planning on changing the fender out and leaving it off the truck. I was sure to keep every bolt and brace which I put back on as I removed it. I even have a spare for it.

I have no idea what it is worth. Click on my user name and contact me by email if interested and we can go from there.

Question 61 Tail Light

Does anyone have the original tail light assy's for their 61 stepside? I need to know if the original unit was a round or shield type tail light assy.

My truck is all stock and the tail lights are the shield type. The replacement lenses are all listed as the shield type also.

Thanks. My owners manual shows the 61's tail lights to be round, but the only ones I have been able to find are the shield type. I really want to use the correct lights. Is it possible that Ford made two versions? Mine is a 6 cyl. 3 speed standard.

Same here, 6cyl, 3 speed. My experience has been that almost all the stepside bed parts were the same untill from 55 to about 1972.

midfifties lists a bed mount spare carrier. I don't have the part # here but can send it from work if your still looking. I'm looking for 2 for my 62. I want to cut the passenger fender & hang 2 spares.
