This document is an exploded parts diagram of a swing-away spare tire carrier assembly mounted to the rear of the vehicle body (tailgate/rear quarter area). The main illustration shows the overall carrier installation with callouts identifying major components by Ford base part group numbers: support (1405), reinforcement (1A401), plate assembly, latch assembly (1A398), spring (1A361), hinges (1478 and 1479), arm assembly (1432), plate (1424), nut assembly (1A384), pad (9847104), and bumper assembly (1455). Directional arrows reference three detailed inset views. View A details the latch mechanism, showing the spring (1A361), latch assembly (1A398), plate (1A404), and arm assembly (1432). View B details the tire retention hardware, showing the plate (1424), nut assembly (1A384), and the lock and key. View C shows the arm assembly (1432) attachment to the hinges at the body. A reader can learn the component names, Ford part group numbers, and the physical arrangement and mounting relationships of the spare tire carrier parts, useful for disassembly, repair, or sourcing replacement parts. The diagram itself carries no visible year, model, or engine designation.
