I have a question that might seem dumb to some of you. How does this thing operate? Mine is frozen (for now) and I wondered if it swings the spare down for removal?

Hi Great Job your doing. You wouldn`t have another spare tire carrier that you would sell.

Sorry Charlie. I unfortunately do not. I wonder if there would be enough interest in reproducing a few. I think forging and casting would be a difficult process. However, i am sure that someone out there could do it. It would surely be costly though.

Does anyone have the dimensions for the mud flaps? Possibly a picture with a tape measure overlay? Thanks.

Hi!
Would you have pictures of the fender black out guard of the GTB?
I'm trying to find ou if and how its is different from the tombstone guard supplied in retrofit kits for the G503

Neither of mine came with a light still attached. Here is a picture I found though.

What is your theory? I was told they are the same as GPW. Is that what you mean? Thanks.

My guess so far is that the D or tombstone shaped guards appear in two different styles, one having the particular 4 hole weld between base and bow, like the classic Ford made horseshoe guard.
This one could be unique to the GTB, while the other one could me made by someone else and provided with the retrofit kits.
This is based solely on pictures and incomplete research; as I have found zero documents or part numbers so far.
