The factory looking one I assume is what you are talking about, $150 and Up ;)

typically between 75 and 150 depending on condition---little to nothing if it isn't complete with the inner quarter panel support brackets for attachment and the tailgate receiver bkt.

They are only worth something if you have the inner and outer brackets RED72Blazer mentioned. I paid $75 (bought from a board member) for the one I got for my '69 about 5 years ago. I've seen them listed as high as $150, but I would think that may take a while to sell.

I found one awhile back complete w/ inner brackets, had it sold for $225, but
the guy I was getting it from never brought it to me. (I was selling it for him)

I've got one complete with all brackets including the rust free tailgate off of a parted out blazer. Problem being that with one mounted with a typical spare, it blocks your rear view quite a lot--so does the inner spare mount. Wonder if there is a mini spare with 6 bolt pattern??hehehehe

I don't have any problem seeing out the back with my swing-away.(235/85R16 - about 31.5" tall)

Could you just get a lower profile tire and put it on a six lug steel rim?

Running a shorter spare is not a good idea if you have posi. This can wear out your posi clutches in a few miles! Plus a small spare on the tire carrier would look goofy.
