That is what my 59 had. First time I had to drop it I pulled the hardware and tossed the spare in the bed. Since it was a work truck I drilled a hole in the wood and chained it around the frame to keep it from walking away. New time I go into the attic inventory I will look and see if I still have the original bracket. I remember my wifes mid 90's Caravan having a winch to lower the spare. Handle hole is hidden under the carpet at the back door sill.
