Hi Dave,

In your type of truck the spare sits in a bracket in the RH front of the body.

Looks like a Ford one for 30cwt and 60cwt trucks.

Dave, I believe if it had a spare it would be positioned inside the rear body; against the left or right hand side wall, near the front.

Sorry Hanno...I hadn't noticed we were wirint a reply at the same time!


Dave....I have had another look at the position of the spare wheel; so far I have found the Dutch post-war picture I posted is the only exception to the rule, with the spare wheel carrier positioned in the left front of the body......all others show it on the right hand side. Have a search here on the forum, RichCam posted some pictures of a Derrick truck with the spare wheel carrier, and I believe Barry also posted pics of another example.
