I have ordered a 74 passenger side carrier. Posted here in this link. I think It may look real nice when mounted carrying a cooler or gas tanks..
I think this may "look better" than the tube carrier...
This is something I have been kicking around.. we will see.

Yeah looks like the hook/latch is for the driver's side 75-76 carrier (think those are the years)

Yeah, after mocking it up on the 40, i realized it is for the wrong side.
Anybody got a passenger side "latch thingy that mounts on the rear sill" and "latch mechanism that mounts on the door" for sell??

I would just cut off the hook part and flip it 180 degrees.

I have a problem with 40s
Dang it, can't believe I missed that... Those are a little harder to find for the drivers side.
Just saw your wanted to buy thread as well. let me know when you find one and how much. I'll reimburse you the cost.
Apologies for the hassle...

Let me look through my "Box(es) of left overs. I may have one. If I recall, it may have a chip in it at on the tooth. Easy fix. May take a day or two to rummage around, but I'll get back with you..

If you happened to have passenger side we can trade..

This beauty is still sitting at a car lot I drive by daily. It's just $29900.

Making room to remove bed pan.
Removed driver fender by drillIng out lots of spot welds inside fender well and on top of bed pan.
Notice there is not a flange bent up on the fender top with the spot welds drilled out. My fender was so roached out in that area I just cut it all off when I took the quarter panel off.
