I forgot to comment on on your spare tire. I had three ideas because I also want a spare. My parts truck is a 53 and had the spare tire that mounts on the bed side with the dimpled fender. I am leaning toward using that bed and sporting the side spare. I also toyed with the idea of fining a donut tire in the junk yard that would work and putting that behind the seat for when I'm in a pinch but then I figured why do that when I could just keep a can of that fix a flat stuff. I hate the mess that stuff makes in the tire becuase I'll have to clean it out to patch the tire. All three of those options and I think the side spare is going to be the best for me. I still have time to decide.
