Re: [oletrucks] Spare tire carrier for AD

How is the monorail completed, i.e. what holds the tire up, and how does
that differ from the other kind?

Thanks

49 & 50 are also the same (straight back type).  Think they called these
"monorail".

The spare carrier you have is for a later AD.  My '48 has the carrier that
has the center   J-bolt rear mount.  It is mounted in the middle of the
frame
and slides straight back and down to access the spare tire.  This is how
the
'47 and '48 models were.  Maybe others can help out with the other AD
years.
