Yup. We have a 75 FST and the carrier is on the right. the hook gizmo on the sill is unique however because it is relieved to clear the drop-down tail gate hinge.

It is interesting only finding two part` numbers for the hooks. My guess is the one that ends in 10 is the one used 3/69-8/76 on spare tires on the left. RHD were always on the left. The one that ends in 20 were used on the LHD with tailgate or barn doors up until 9/75 when tailgate and barn doors even LHD were moved to the left side. Would be curious to see the hook on your 75 FST. Here is my 73 FST and the hook just clears the right hinge. I know this style hinge was replaced by another style but don't find a hinge change until 1/79.:meh:

Ours is in off-site storage at the moment. We are planning on bringing it back onto the building in the near future. At one point I photographed the catch but I can't locate it right now. This one is an unmolested 48,000 mile truck.
