Branded Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 Looking for a picture of the spare tire mounting bracket. My bracket is missing on the 49 Wayfarer. All that is on the trunk floor is a 3/8 stud that the bracket would bolt on to. I have the long rod with the rolled eye on one end that goes from the bracket thru the wheel. I suspect that Dodge Coronet is the same. Any help would be appreciated. Dave Quote

Still,there is a very good photo of it at the link. Quote
Branded Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks but I don't think that will fit in the trunk of my Wayfarer, that looks like it a spare mount for a truck. 1 Quote

knuckleharley Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 18 minutes ago, Branded said: We old people sure are funny.... Still,you COULD bolt it to a fender,and free up room in your trunk. Or find another,and bolt one to each front fender like a 30's classic,or to each door like a military truck. Trunk lid as a farm boy Continental Kit? Come to think of it,I'm a little surprised nobody has ever found one with this "option". 2 Quote
dpollo Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 If it is the piece of metal that bridges the center hole of the wheel and is held in place by a wing nut I may be able to help. Pictures are beyond my computer ability. Send me a PM if this is what you need. Quote

Pictures are beyond my computer ability. Send me a PM if this is what you need. I have the large wing nut, center plate for the wheel that has the oblong slot in it and the threaded rod. What is missing is the bracket the threaded rod is hinged on. The threaded stud is mounted in the floor of the trunk behind the spare that the bracket would attach to. Quote
Branded Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Parts list manual shows it listed as Spare Wheel Anchor but no picture provided. Might also be called Spare wheel mounting bracket after further reading in parts manual Edited January 8, 2017 by Branded Quote
dpollo Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 The Plymouth bodies I have here have this anchor mounted well over to the r h s, as the spare tire stands almost vertically in a well. Should be an easy item to fabricate if you can get a picture. Good luck. 1 Quote

I suspect they are pretty much the same as the original one in your 51 Dodge. Let me know if you need a photo. 1 Quote

Thanks Too cold here for a geezer like me to be fooling around out in the yard tomorrow,but I should be able to do that on Tues or Wednesday. I can also take photos of the brackets in a P-15 and post them for you. If you don't see them Tues or Wednesday,hit me up with a PM. 1 Quote
Branded Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks I'll be standing by. Quote
DJ194950 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 These are in a 50 Plymouth. I looked at a 49 several years ago and the only difference I saw that it had 3 through bolts that connected it to the body. I hope that what you are looking for? DJ 1 Quote
Branded Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you, that is exactly the bracket I need. If I can't find one I'll make something to get me by. Thanks again Dave Edited January 10, 2017 by Branded Quote
