It’s not so new! However, was pursuing classifieds. Noticed 26/27 spare tire carrier remembering there are 3 hole and 4 hole with one having a longer snout. Which one is for what year, month or type of vehicle?

Been a while, but do remember the early '26 (Nov '25 serial) runabout body I restored used the 3 hole mount. Believe that the 4 hole mount came along later, as there are later runabouts with the 4 hole mount. Parts and Price books are unclear for the 2872, the factory # is 7317A for this runabout and coupe mount, so there may have been a 7317 assigned for the early 3 hole? Ford used the letters after the # to indicate change.
So check you body to see the # of holes for the rear mount.
Uncertain about length differences.
