Hi, I have two spare tire brackets. Which one is for a '36 and what is the other one? the one on the right is stamped steel, the one on the left a cast iron part attaches to the car while a stamped steel upper part goes against the wheel.

The one on the left is from a 34 or 35 Ford with the 36 Ford face plate. The one on the right is for the 36 Ford sedan and is not for Coupe, Cabriolet or Roadster.

Hoe does the one for the coupe differ? I thought that the one on the left might be for a station wagon or a sendan delivery,. I do believe that they are original and that the face plates have not been changed.. They do not appear to have any numbers on them.

Wilmalcolm- I believe they are both from '36 model cars. During '36 Ford made five different types of tire carriers compared to '35 which only had three. There should be a number stamped on the carrier such as 68-1433-A. The suffix indicates what vehicle model. The "Green Bible" has a listing of some model suffixes. Of the two you have pictured, the one on the right "appears" to be for coupes, roadsters and cabriolets. At least it looks like the one on my '36 cabriolet. Hope this helps. Tom

Thanks Tom, I clean them up and see if I can find some numbers. I have the green bible so that might help.

The Ford Motor Company Chassis Parts List shows only two spare tire brackets. 68-1433-A for model 700,730,740,750. 68-1433-B for model 710,720,760,770,790. Photo is for 68-1433-B

GTosel- I agree with you that the parts book only shows two types being available. However, the V8 Club's book on '35-'36 Fords (page 22) has a discussion of the five different types of '36 tire mounts used on the '36 model. Probably for parts inventory purposes the five were reduced to two. Along with the discussion, it refers to two types of '35 mounts. There were actually three. Given the thoroughness of the publication this is a very minor glitch. Tom

The difference between the A and B suffix brackets is the curvature of the back of the bracket where it attaches to the body. The A-suffix version's back side is convex when viewed from the side to mate with the concave surface of the back of the bodies of sedans and phaetons and the B-suffix version's back side is concave to mate with with convex surface of the bodies of coupes, roadsters, and cabriolets.

There also were two spare tire brackets one for Coupe and the other for sedans with a Standard spare tire cover. This was the same bracket with a welded extension for the spare tire cover lock.
