Ok so to take a break from minor issues on my newly rebuilt engine
(has become way to tedious)
I decided to remount my spare tire carrier at cab to pass a day or so before I jump back in.
Its been off for three years (since start of resto)
Thing is- I cant remember if there is some sort of spacer behind the head of the locking bolt on the out side of the cab -between the outside cab plate that
the locking bolt passes through and the back of the "bullet" head.
Figured there must have been something in here to take up the space?
But cant recall so a pic or schematic would be great.

Thank you
I had installed it wrong. I had one of the nuts #8 behind that
Stop cam #4. So it looks like the release lever ( not shown) would
Sit between the 2 nuts # 8 then? With the spring(not shown)
Against the bolt # 8 closest to the flange # 5

Warren I know, I know right!?
Sometime in its day the goverment gods saw fit to convert it
Probably when they installed the radios in the back.
Would've like to put it in the back but I put the radios
Back in the way they had them.
By the way when I take to your show next year , will you walk over
And open the door for me so I can get out????

Before you commit to the COMVEC show, you should know that the show has been moved to Somers, CT for 2013.
As for opening your door, sure, just let me know and I'll wear my chaffeur's uniform.

Bolts nombered 18 are removable but usually rusted in place, the ones I removed were so badly pitted that they had to be welded to fill the pits and then lathe turned to restore them to serviceable condition.

Carter thanks
Hinge works fine on mine. Like I said in pm
I wanted to sand blast and wasnt sure if there was
A bushing around those bolts. I'll try again to break
Them out, if not I'll leave them and grind it by hand
Fun fun I need to locate a copy of that parts manual
