Maybe it's just because you asked a question about it on the Forum.

got one. Strange: that item has not been on eBay in the past 10 years, now there's a surfeit!

fordmerc, did you ever find a spare tire bracket? If not there are two on e-bay right now. Search under "1940 Ford" and you will find them both.

Tom, good find. That's the same part as the one in my 40 tudor.

Here is an E-Bay item that the seller says is from a 1940 Ford Fordor. 150392912663 Check it out and see if that is what you need.

Tom, you are correct as usual. The correct clamp is P/N 91A-7047074 and is listed in the Body Parts catalog. There is no drawing of this part in the body parts catalog and it was used only in 39-40 on the sedans.

Tom, I checked page 10 of the Green Book and I think that part only covers the 37's,38's and maybe the 39 standard. My 40 standard tudor has the same parts for the spare bracket as those shown in the 38-39 book for the 39 deluxe sedan.On page 3-43 of the 38-39 book the bracket shown in the Green Book is noted to fit 38 deluxe tudor, fordor and convertible sedan. In these cars the spare tire lays flat on the floor under plywood shelf. It's the same bracket that I had in my 37 club coupe.

After seeing Tom Johnston's reply, I did some more research in the parts catalogs. The parts are shown on page 10 of the Green book (78-1492).

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that the Ford was the same. Now I have to dig around or try some creative construction.

I think the 39 Merc sedan uses the same set up as the 39-40 Ford sedan. You have the pieces that are attached to the upper brace in the trunk, but you need the metal piece that pushes against the tire and attaches to the bolt with the spring. That bolt uses a standard size Ford lug nut. Sorry I don't have a photo of the piece that you need. I also checked the Green Book and it doesn't show it either. Then piece you need is made of stamped steel and from the side it has a triangular shape. I did find a photo of the bracket in the V-8 Club's 38-39 book. It's on page 3-46 and shows all the pieces for the for the bracket assembly.
