I had two of thes laying around but evidently they must be for F250/350 (?) I went to put one on my '81 F150 and it did not fit right. It holds the tire up but isn't anywhere close to right...

Jonathan - Look closely at yours and I think you'll find that they are marked E3TA-1448-AA. If so, they are for 1983+ trucks of all GVWR's.
David - I hate to burst your bubble, but with some sleuthing I think I've discovered that the spare tire carriers were divided on a year basis rather than GVWR basis. Check out the addition to this page: Exterior/Spare Tire Carriers. (Is "Exterior" where you'd expect to find a page on spare tire carriers?  ) And, even the smaller carrier fits Big Blue's original tire.
Randy - Unfortunately I don't think I have a spare tire carrier for you. I do have an extra, but from what I just figured out it is for a 1980 - 82 truck and yours is an '83. Perhaps Jonathan or David have one that'll fit?
