Re: 38 pick up spare tire mounting
Check you running board for a hole right behind the cab. Until Ford changed from the "wide five" wheels in 1940 the spare bolted to a post that was bolted thru the running board. A long bolt went thru the bracket and into the bed to stabilize the mount. In 1940 Ford switched to a bracket that was wielded to the side of the bed but still left the hole in the running board.
