Model 51, (Stakebed or flatbeds, not pickups)
Very specifically i have a spare tire carrier minus hinges off the frame rails. i am trying to determine if it is for a half ton or tonner truck? would like to know how a half ton & 1ton truck hinges look like, photos? I believe they are riveted to the frame rails? Any photos of different carriers? Were carriers an option or did they come with ALL flatbeds or stakebeds?
