Lee,

Thanks for the info, but I've got the two angles mounted and the spare rack 
itself mounts to that, but I also have these other two pieces that I can't 
figure out where they go - one piece of flat stock and one piece a sort of 
modified 'C' shape. Both look like reinforcement, but where do they go?

Jim
If yours is like my '54 the two angles, which look like opposite parts, are 
installed vertical and each one bolts to the bed in 3 places. Lee

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.
