Trying to "ID" a 1963 Corvette Spare Tire Carrier Tub marked "MFG 19154"

[John D.]

I am trying to identify if I have a 1963 Corvette Spare Tire Carrier Tub(upper portion Only). It has the following mark molded into the inside portion of the fiberglass("MFG 19154"). I would like to know if its an ORIGINAL, a GM REPLACEMENT, a REPRODUCTIOn or if it is possibly for a 1964 to 1967 Corvette. I will attempt to attach pictures to this posting.

Looks like a real 63 to me.

John -

"MFG" is the logo for the Molded Fiberglass Corporation in Ashtabula, Ohio - they were the original supplier for that tub (and many other Corvette panels).

My late '65 tub has the same "MFG 19154" molded, and has the larger lip common to post-'63 tubs, forward of the hanger bolts. So I'd guess from the pics that yours is the thin-lipped '63.

It's clearly not worth this price.

Has anyone ever seen the rubber bumpers that are called out in the 1963 AIM for the top of the spare tire carrier. I could never figure out if I need these.
