Default 1947 Flatbed/Stakebed Spare tire carrier

Might anyone have photos of the hinge joint holding the spare tire carrier off the frame rails? Also photos of the different spare tire carrier for different size trucks?
Thank you!

Ford trucks normally have spare tire carriers. Are you looking for information on 1/2 ton pickup or 1 1/2 ton trucks? Ford used many different solutions so with more detail provided you might get some help.

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?

Can you post a picture of what you have? Big trucks normally have a spare tire carrier located between and under the frame rails at the rear. Most pickups have the spare mounted beside the cab. I think every vehicle came with a way to carry a spare tire and the space and configuration necessitated varying solutions.
A picture of what you have will really help narrow the investigation as there are just too many different types.
