Hi All,

Euan is right, it is the suspension for an LMG. Firstly if you look closely at the photo the gallows is in proximity to the cab roof hatch from where the gun would be fired suspended. Secondly in this Chev, where is the spare tyre to be lifted and to where would you lift it. Thirdly if you have seen a gallows in the flesh you would see it wouldn't be strong enough to lift a tyre. Apart from that imagine the size and weight of the counterweight required to balance a tyre. It certainly wouldn't fit in the narrow bore tube of the gallows.

On the Ford Blitz this gallows is at the rear and in this case in proximity to the rear hatch.
