AI caption · Photo 395 of 434

This is a simple hand-drawn digital sketch (schematic) uploaded to the gallery of a 1979 Ford Bronco, illustrating a homemade spare tire carrier/slider concept for a truck bed. The drawing shows several rough diagram elements: a square box containing a horizontal line with a center dot, labeled 'dolly that holds tire and slides along bed'; a top-down or side view of a T-shaped post/mount; a rounded rectangle (apparently representing the bed or a rail) with a similar T-mount inside it; and a lower diagram showing two T-shaped mounts on a long horizontal rail with arrows indicating direction of movement, a red diagonal line (possibly a cable or ramp), and a small red box on the rail labeled 'winch mounted under bed'. The concept appears to be a sliding dolly that carries the spare tire along the bed, pulled or positioned by a winch mounted underneath the bed. The document contains no part numbers, dimensions, torque specs, or vehicle-specific applicability information—only the two handwritten-style text labels and the conceptual line drawings. It appears to be one page of a multi-page homemade design set (a companion file 'carrier.jpg' exists in the same album).
