Rubber Bumper for 1469 Type 3

Types 2 & 3 require a locking lug & key (1386) as shown here:

Aluminum wheels on some vehicles are equipped with anti-theft lug nuts (one per wheel) that are installed during vehicle pre-delivery. The key is on the right-hand side of the engine compartment. To allow vehicle service in the event the key has been misplaced, a Rotunda Master Key Set 164R-3103 or equivalent is available at most Ford dealer service departments. The key has a circular keyway that is matched to the slot in the anti-theft lug nut.

Apparently, there are subtypes for Types 1 & 2. '78-79s apparently have different body castings (1478-9) with diagonal bolt holes on the sides, & 3 U-bolts (not called out) holding the vertical bar to the main tube. Early Type 2 have a single smaller bent tube (arched at the top) reinforcing the main tube where this diagram shows 2 separate straight tubes.

ISSUE: High latching and operating efforts of the swing-away spare tire carrier may be caused by a lack of lubrication on the latch and striker assemblies.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Make sure the spare tire carrier is latched. Both the primary and secondary latches must be engaged.

4. Close the carrier.
* Both the primary and secondary positions must be latched.
* If the carrier does not latch, re-adjust the tailgate striker as required.
