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.

Subject: [oletrucks] Spare Tire Rack
> Does anyone out there have a '53 Chevy 1/2 ton with the driver side spare
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
