Our truck is a 51 and in its life, it had the spare on the door. Remember the M-42 command and the M-43 had the spare on the door so it does not need to be a 60's truck to have it located there. If there was a need to have ALL the space in the box, I bet it was moved!!! Ours is going back as thats where I am going to mount a radio tray.

You have brought that back to life and saved it from sitting and slowly rusting away in some field or lot. Congrats Rusty for getting it back on the road, it's a good feeling to bring one back to life. Good job :D

The tarp is my roof I tie it to the hood brkts and pull it over, open the doors stuff in the sides and shut the doors, :oops: I dont have a top for it, so I just peel the tarp back and stuff it in the bed and I'm ready to ride . The bed is complete and has its front panel. I still have alot of work to do but a top is in the future :D
