Looks like a stack of “spare tire carrier lower tray” off to the side.

Quote:
Normally, then and now, frames are received as a complete unit. For some reason the squarebody pickup frames were received as individual rails and crossmembers. Perhaps this was due to the large amount of proliferation (2wd, 4wd, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, one ton, long wheel base, short wheel base) all built down the same line. Frame rails where placed on a "pedestal conveyor", which served to both fixture the assembly and move the frame down the line, where the individual crossmembers, spring hangers and exhaust hangers were riveted in place. After the frame was squared and secure it was transferred from the pedestals to the hanging chains as shown in my previous post above. K Passenger car frames in Pontiac, Michigan:

Cracks me up when restorers go overboard carefully painting their frames.
This is a photo of the former AO Smith frame plant in Milwaukee. Drove past it literally hundreds of times, including the dead of winter. Frames stacked outside, exposed to the elements long before they were assembled into a car. If you wondered how your frame got so rusty, probably started here.
