40/41 pickup bed spare tire location

[40fordpu]

Trying to determine the location of the spare tire mount. Anyone have specifics on stock location. Angle of carrier to top of bed? Angle of "triangle or V at top of carrier" in accordance to stake post (see last two pics)? Location of carrier to bed side? Any measurements would be great. Also I am assuming stock was to have it welded correct? Thanks.

Bolt it to a stock tire and wheel. Then sit it on the running board.

Makes sense. Just slightly above resting on running board I imagine.
