Holden/Chevrolet Truck arrives at Home

[Lionelgee]

G'day All,

I could not resist putting in a photo of the condition of my tray. The bed is totalled while the main cross frame parts are in pretty good condition - bar one.

At the front of the tray there are two gearwheels with one having a crank handle. The gear is connected to a shaft which has wire rope around it. As you turn the crank the wire rope winds down or up. Would this have been for lowering and raising the spare wheel?

Kind Regards
Lionel
