Need pic of spare tire mount
 

I went to install the spare tire in my 76 C10 lwb the other day and the holder appears too long. The PO did not have the spare mounted but gave me the holder when I bought the truck. But when I crawled under to mount the thing, it appears to be much too long. I figure I either have the wrong mount or I'm looking at the wrong place to install the bolts that hold it up.

If anyone could post or send me (SDELVY55@aol.com) a pic of their spare mounted, or the bracket installed without a spare I would appreciate it. Also a pic of the bolt positions (where they attached to the frame) would also be a big help.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

the mount attaches at an angle, furthest forward at the drivers side and farthest back on the passenger side.

Jon, thanks for the info. I'll take another look to see if I can find where the bolts were originally located.

I am also having this problem and am looking for pictures. The spare tire mount I am trying to use is from a '62 3/4-ton if that matters.

my trucks havent had the spare tire mount in so long i cant even tell where they are mounted.. i have a pretty good idea, just not easy getting a pic of it.

Badpeanut, i am not sure about your situation as i have no clue what a 62' spare tire mount looks like..

Shoot an email to webmaster@73-87chevytrucks.com with that as the subject and body and I will try to get the picture of my '87 when I get home.

Tell me if this is what you needed....

Chris, thanks a bunch! I think that should give me what I need.
I just need to crawl underneath and check it out.

Thanks again.

Not a problem Scott. I tried to get it this morning, but my Digital camera batteries were dead. If you need more, let me know.
