Austin K9 Radio Truck Spare Wheel Carrier Frame

This is a genuine military surplus spare wheel carrier frame, specifically designed for the Austin K9 Radio Truck. In active service, these frames were side-mounted to the vehicle chassis or body, providing a secure, vibration-resistant housing for a full-sized spare. Fabricated from heavy-gauge steel, this is a utilitarian piece of hardware built to withstand the weight of a 9.00 x 20 tyre and wheel assembly across broken terrain. It is a critical component for anyone performing a ground-up restoration of a K9 or maintaining a period-correct military vehicle.

Technical Details & Features

  • Solid Steel Construction: Manufactured using thick-wall steel sections for maximum structural rigidity under heavy loads.

  • Service-Issue Design: Features the original mounting points and bracing required for fitment to the Austin K9 1-ton 4x4 chassis.

     

  • Retention System: Designed to keep the wheel stationary during high-vibration field use, preventing damage to the tyre or the vehicle body.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Finished in original military-spec paint; provides a resilient base for stripping and refinishing to match your vehicle's livery.

  • Mechanical Integrity: Free from modern "lightweight" compromises—this is a heavy, durable component designed for a long service life.

Realistic Use Cases

  • Authentic Restoration: Replace missing or damaged carriers on an Austin K9 to return the vehicle to its original factory configuration.

  • Custom Fabrication: Due to its robust nature, this frame can be adapted for use on other army surplus UK trucks or heavy-duty overland trailers.

  • Spares Stock: A vital "hard-to-find" part to keep in reserve for long-term maintenance of vintage British military fleets.

Condition & Authenticity

This item is genuine military surplus. As a field-used component, it is sold in a used condition. Expect rust, paint chips, and signs of long-term storage or previous mounting. The frame  will require cleaning, priming, and painting and repair as part of your renovation project. Please refer to the product images for the exact condition of the welds and mounting brackets.
