Factory inside bed spare tire carrier.. $45.00 shipped

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

I would like to be first in line on this but would like to know if these came in fleetside trucks?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Yes, they were a factory option. P13 - SIDE MOUNTED SPARE. It shows the proper mounting location in the Assembly manual also.

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

You are first up for it..
Yes.. Like chipflyer says it is a factory option in the fleetside trucks..

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Next in line...

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier

stope4 its yours... PM sent

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Now that I bought this thing, how do you mount a tire on it?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

SOLD.. Thank you!!

I have never seen a complete assembly to know how the factory mounted the spare, anyone have any pictures they could share??

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Just curious, would one of these work in a Short Bed Fleetside? I think I saw one listed at LMC.

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Yes it will work on a shortbed. Mine had one on each side between the tailgate and wheel well area.

You need a J-bolt, plate w/hole, and a wingnut to hold the tire in place.

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Thank you.

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Subscribed ... I sold one to eightbanger and didnt have the hardware to mount the tire... I know he is looking for the hardware. Any pics ???

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

I have one in my 3/4 ton truck too, and would love to see how the spare is mounted...

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

You can also take a carriage bolt instead of a J-bolt and slide it through the slotted hole.

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

May be a dumb question and I think I know but just to verify, What is a j-bolt?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Sometime back I tried and tried to get a look at the original mounting hardware but nobody on here ever did come up with a pic. Surely someone must have an old truck with the original hardware still mounted?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Doesn't it use the same hardware as the underbed spare tire carrier?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Nope, I tried that, nothing to keep the bolt from just spinning and its way to long. I am using that special nut on mine though.
I would guess that a carriage bolt would have been used originally, but that is just a guess.

Guy's I can help on this one , the J bolt washer and wing nut for a 67 68 69 camaro work's perfect , and probably isn't way off from correct ! I put this style in my 67 and I had a 67 camaro J bolt and it fit's perfect !
they sell those cheap on ebay all the time ,,

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

I think that the spare in the bed on a fleetside look's classic , when I was searching for a truck if it had been a stepside I would have REQUIRED it to have the fender mounted spare , the fender mounted spare on a stepside is wayyyyyyyyyyyy cool !!

here is a pic of mine with the spare in the bed

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Can you show us a pic of your setup?

19673ontree - are you meaning the j-bolt and wing nut for the camaro jack and tire?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

O.K. I found an original bolt for the underbed spare tire carrier. This bolt has a flat rectangle looking washer welded to the head of the bolt. This fits perfectly into the hole on this carrier. In other words it may be a match. Does anyone know what that little wing nut looks like for the underbed carrier? can you post a picture?

Re: OEM in bed spare carrier
 

Here you go guys. This bolt is exactly like the one I found with a under bed carrier. The head fits perfectly into the opening on the in-bed carrier. This auction is not me. I just happened to see it tonight and I think this is correct.
