Default Is this spare tire carrier original?
I got this extra spare tire carrier with my '65 and was going to throw it on EBay. I was told it was NOS but he wasn't sure. Can someone tell by pics? I don't want to mislead anyone on Ebay.

It looks like an original. The V strap should be riveted to the flat part. If the holes are not present, I would guess reproduction.

The inside of the tub looks very uneven. Originals are very smooth. I guess is that's it's a repo.

I might be interested if the price is right. Mine is repairable, but let me know what you want.

I have no idea, I bought a project and got some extra parts. I'm open to offers?
