You will also need a T-7379 "Spare Rim Bracket-Running Board Shim" to interface the carrier base to the running board surface.
I have an electronic copy of the Ford print for this part.
It is a simple part that can easily be made.
Email me if you need a copy of the print.

A few years back someone was reproducing those. They use a drive shaft tube, spare tire mount off a coupe and I think a top mount end. They looked good. Have seen one in years.

That is true. I have a really good aftermarket one on my '25. It fits all the 1925 models I think. No holes do drill or anything. Just put it in.
