Re: side tire mount
That manual is actually a 54 manual so that may be a 54 only item. Most of it works fine for 47/53 but there are a few 54 only things in it. Who ever reprinted it decided it fit all years though. Glad they did as I use the daylights out of it .

Re: side tire mount
Thanks mr48chev, my buddy had a spacer on his, which was a 53, but he is not using the tire mount or finder so he scraped it. so now i'am looking for one. Randy

Re: side tire mount
The ones I have taken off are usually the same thickness as the wedge at its thickest part. On occasion I have seen them at half that height.

Re: side tire mount
the task force factory assembly manual also shows the shim for 55-59 trucks
