Spring perch

[Lynn Eades]

The axle is a std Ford truck axle of the era, so Carriers depending on their place of origin had either the spring perches or the bolt mounts for the torque tube. The British trucks had the torque tube (enclosed prop shaft) set up. I'll assume that the Canadians were only building trucks with open drive. My Bren made in NewZealand usedaxles supplied from the USA and were from enclosed driveshaft trucks so had the same two bolt hole mounts (for the radius arms) like the British axles.
