The spare tire rack (factory) would swing around & latch/store there on the side.

That is the bracket to hold spare tire carrier to side of tailgate. Allows tailgate open driving, if you need to leave it open.

Thanhs : somthing must be missing because the spare tire won't latch to it .

FWIW, IV seen one pic of a Bronco in the UK that had the spare actually mounted on that part.

Iv got the same part on my 69.

The spare tire carrier latches to that bracket, you have to put the spare on the outside of the bracket for it to work. If you have flares and larger wheels, you won't be able to use it at all.
