Are you asking how to make a part like the photo or did you make it?

I don't see these available from our vendors. Does anyone have specifications for those of us who would like to fabricate one?

Thanks in advance,

Dom

I used to make some years back, but no real market anymore. Dallas Landers has my last one. Contact him and he may provide pictures.

To be able to use that type of bracket you will need the Y piece to accept lugged 23" beaded edge rims, unless you have T wire wheels. Or am I missing something?

These are two photos of the spare tire carrier I had made by a local welder. I provided a drive shaft tube and spare tire bracket. He did the rest. I got a copy of the original Ford blueprints from someone off this forum but don’t remember who. Unfortunately, the welder tossed the prints when he finished. I have wire wheels so don’t need the Y required for wood spoke wheels.
