Spare Tire Hold Down Anchor – Narrow Version – 1966–1971 Fairlane & Torino
The Spare Tire Hold Down Anchor – Narrow Version is an OE-style trunk restoration component designed for 1966–1971 Ford Fairlane and Torino models. This anchor mounts to the rear over-the-axle floor panel and restores the factory spare tire retention point used to properly secure the spare within the trunk area. It is a critical detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects focused on correct trunk layout, authenticity, and factory-style functionality.
Ford used different spare tire anchor configurations during this period, and some vehicles were equipped with a narrow-style anchor from the factory. This version measures 5 3/4 inches x 2 5/8 inches and is correct for applications originally equipped with the narrow mount. Over time, original anchors are often damaged, corroded, or missing entirely due to trunk floor repairs, moisture exposure, or previous restoration work. Replacing the correct anchor restores the proper spare tire mounting location and factory-correct trunk appearance.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this narrow anchor is formed to match original dimensions and mounting geometry used on Fairlane and Torino trunk floors. Proper sizing is especially important, as Ford also used a wider anchor on certain vehicles during these years. Using the incorrect version can result in improper spare tire placement or an inaccurate restoration.
This component is intended for restorers who value application-specific accuracy and want to ensure the spare tire system matches original factory configuration. Verifying which version your vehicle originally used is recommended prior to selection.
