my 59 has the pivoting spare carrier like the PU. both rod holes are in the
frame, same basic setup as trucks through the 80s. it requires super human
strength or a jack to actual use it. mine still has the split rim and a
spare of unknown age. unless yours is bone stock, use one of the newer cable
hoist setups. for a reciever hitch, use the newer style frame mount that has
the tube frame extended out past the frame. look at any new truck (with a
hitch) for fabrication ideas.
