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

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.

 

Am comfortable with '53/54, thank you, fellows

Fender with cut-out for spare tire listed in 1948/56 truck parts catalog beginning in 1953 for F100/250.

 

 

Does anyone reproduce that spare wheel bracket or carrier ? I cant seem to find a new one . No chance of finding one here in OZ.

 

brooksy1968 my truck coming in has a genuine spare wheel holder and fender to suit it very good condition I'm thinking of taking off and I'm in OZ`

 

Check MidFifty or Dennis ​​​​​Carpenter

 

Cheers mate , let us know if you decide to remove it. What state do you live in ?

 

Tried both of those abe but no good. Cheers.

 

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

 

BAAA-1433-A & B were replaced in 1957 with B7C-1433-A

In 1976, B7C-1433-A was replaced by D6TZ-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.
