Dealer accessory: slide out spare tire carrier - pics?

Anyone have pics of the dealer accessory slide out rear spare tire carrier? Curious to see what this looks like and how it operates. Interested as a possible add to the k1500 if someone has an available example.

Thanks, Pete

Can't help much on this but here is a clip of the 74 version to at least show what your are asking about.

My '72 has this accessory. My truck is really busy under the rear with that spare tire carrier as well as hitch set-up which is tied into the Bardens bumper. The exhaust guy didn't route my tailpipes the way I wanted, blaming the carrier

I worked in a tire store in the late 70s to early 80s. I hated where trucks had the spare but those carriers actually worked.

It's very possible that is the same product that GM sold.

It could be handy. It was on there when I bought the truck and I have never unlocked it. I'm not sure I got a key for it. This prompts me to look into it. I know I can't put any spare under there any bigger than the one under there now unless I remove the hitch

Ever been under one of these things in the woods trying to remove that tire with a flat on the back side with the stock jack.

Good Luck!

Re: Dealer accessory: slide out spare tire carrier - pics?

No. Mostly on my 4wds I never carried a spare due to tires too big to mount... and what you point out. I used to carry one in the bed till I thought about it hitting me in the back of the head. I'd rather hitch a ride back home and come back with a spare. Been there, done that...more than once
