OK, first question is where is my spare tire supposed to mount on my '66 F-100 styleside. I don't see any mounts in the bed area. Does it mount underneath?
Second question: I just replaced the headlight switch and wanted to make sure I had it in there correctly. Does the headlight release button on the switch point towards the driver's side? I didn't pay attention to the orientation when I removed it.

There's a T shaped crossbar held to the frame by two long bolts. The spare rides above the bar, the T portion fits thru the center of the wheel. The jack and lug wrench fit inside the spare wheels rim.
The headlamp switch **** and shaft release button points straight up.
See the dash illustration and all the switches, *****, radio, heater etc. here: Body Section 030 / Page 8.
See the entire exploded view of the spare tire carrier here: Chassis Section 14 / Page 5.
These illustrations are from the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog.
A CD version of this parts catalog is available from hipoparts.com (also sold on ebay), for around $22.00.
I know that on my 66 the tire hanger was still under the back edge of the bed, I even have an orignial spare wheel and tire to go in the truck when I get her finished.
