Sorry, but I would vote bare bracket or no bracket with nothing mounted on it.

Re: Nina Patina 1953 3100 project.

I LIKE the canteen. If I had your truck with that paint finish I'd definitely leave the spare fender/bracket because the finishes match and either do what you did OR find another Torq Thrust for it.

The canteen "goes with" the patina (man, I hate that word). Maybe letter a sign on it but I'd leave it. YMMV.
