FS - Front bumper spare tire mount
For anybody looking for that vintage camper look, or an off-road accessory.
Was mounted on my '71, no modification required to grille or support. Includes a bracket to mount license plate in center of wheel. Will need to be cleaned up and repainted, very solid but some light surface rust around the base. Should also fit '69 and '70 with a little tweeking of the support bracket $50 plus S&H I will get some pictures tonight, but mounted on the front of my truck: ![]()

Re: FS - Front bumper spare tire mount
I'm very interested.
do these require drilling the bumper? a good friend had a spare in front but I never paid any attention.

That said, it's been a long time since I saw a stock front bumper, but I think the holes on my truck were enlarged. The hardware pictures is 5/16". I imagine you could get away with 1/4" hardware without issue if you used gr.5 or gr.8 bolts and some decent washers. The upper piece fit through the grille and mounts to either side of the latch support. As far as I recall (I would have to go look to be sure) there were no extra holes drilled in it to mount that bracket, either. This shot shows better how it mounted ![]()

Re: FS - Front bumper spare tire mount
I'm going to pass, as shipping would be a killer.
but thanks for reminding me of a good friend.
