Spare tire well plug??
 
Anyone know where I can get the plug that goes in the bottom of the spare tire well in the rear of my 68 Burban? I have looked through LMC and did not see it. I live in NH and a hole like that is just asking for rot. I want to avoid that at all costs.

Thanks,
Sara

I've got a '72, a '70 and an extra spare tire well I bought on ebay, and I've still never seen one. I know that isn't helpful, but I'm curious what they look like.

I'm thinking that what you'd really want is a "duckbill" type drain. The best description I can come up with is this. Picture a piece of hose that stays naturally flattened EXCEPT WHEN water is trying to drain through vertically. They are often used as A/C condesate drains in big trucks and also sometimes on the bottom of bigrig air filter housings.

That makes sense. Thanks for the idea.
