Folks, wondering if someone would be kind enough to give me measurements of the tailgate supports for the spare tire on an M38. For some reason, bubba removed mine, so I need to manufacture one.

Aaron,
Using the photo, left to right:
1" 2" 1-7/8" 2" 1"
Height from tailgate: 3/4"
Total length: 13"
Material is probably 18 gauge, but 16 will work.
I can get you measurements for the three holes if you need them
but the one is centered with the right footman loop screw hole,
and the top two centered with the two top spare bracket
holes. They are square.
Take care,
