Re: [VACList] Spare Tire for 1963 Globetrotter



Hi John, 

Here's an old reply I wrote on this same topic. Perhaps it will be of use to
you.  You might ask John Semon if he has a picture.  I'll have my spare tire
carrier at this year's International in Burlington, VT. along with the
Safari.  <grin>
