Mercedes Benz truck spare tire lift system

[Joaquin Suave]

This is a slick set-up that I'd keep, If both my trucks didn't have a slick spare tire set-up already. It came of the Mercedes D1419 truck. It consists of a worm drive winch that lifts the framework the spare tire is mounted to. once the spare is winched up to the frame, there are 4 studs on pivots that secure the framework to the brackets that bolt to the frame. My guess that there is enough line on the winch to use this system on the back of a box as opposed to under the frame.

PM me if interested.

Here is one of Doug Hackneys pictures of the simillar spare system on an MBZ truck in South America.
