Does anyone out there have a '53 Chevy 1/2 ton with the driver side spare tire
rack? I'm trying to figure out how to put it back on and I'm having some
problems! I have two extra pieces of metal that I can't figure out where they
go. Both pieces look like they are designed to reinforce the bed sides for the
additional weight of the spare. Both pieces have square holes (i.e. like what
would be used for a carriage type bolt) and the holes are spaced exactly the
same - so I believe they go from side to side (or parallel to the ground). Both
pieces are about 15" long and about 1 1/2 " wide. One is just flat stock of
maybe 1/8" steel the other is a modified 'C' shape if you look at it on-end.
Does anyone know where these go? Could someone look at their tire rack and
enlighten me! Thanks in advance! Jim W.
