    Yes, I had the same kart, Rupp "A" Bone with a Mac 91B.
    I have built a 91B for this kart but this Power Product runs so good I hate to switch.

    Dix, I apologize for that photo. I will get a better one on the way. Do you have any information on the small tag next to the main large tag? It references a number for when ordering parts and it is in English and Spanish.
    Tim
    Thanks also for the spare tire info. I would rather install an original one if I can find one.

    Thanks Dodge Man. It spent all of its life in California and was rustfree when it was restored back in 2002. There is alot to say about that west coast sheet metal.

    I am flying to Gary IN. (Chicago Midway) Next friday, for my father in-law's funeral. I could probably fit it in my suitcase if getting to Gary is feasable for you. I have no idea if it would work in the pickup as I have only seen one pid of a pickup with the tire in it. My guess is with a little trimming, it's the same.

    Let me know what you think?

    Yes, the spare tire braces are the same except for the one for the van has another brace attached and goes from the wheel well hump to the rear door jamb. Cut that off and it should work for the pickup with a little massaging.
