This document is a factory-style exploded parts illustration (credited "Copyright FoMoCo") showing the swing-away spare tire carrier assembly for an early Ford Bronco. The main drawing depicts the rear of the Bronco body with the tire carrier arm and spare wheel mounted at the tailgate area. Arrows lead to several enlarged detail views: an inset labeled "(1968/69)" showing the upper mounting bracket and fasteners at the body/liftgate opening; a hardware stack-up (bolt, washers, bushings, and bracket) for the pivot marked with callout letter "A"; a lower hinge/pivot bracket assembly with its bolts; the latch handle and striker bracket arrangement; and a hold-down anchor plate with associated hardware and what appears to be a cable or rod. A reader can learn how the tire carrier's pivot, latch, and mounting hardware assemble and where each bracket attaches to the body, which is useful for restoring, repairing, or reinstalling a spare tire carrier on an early Bronco. The diagram contains no printed part numbers, legend, or torque specifications — only the (1968/69) applicability note on one inset and the callout letter A.
