In bed spare tire bolt/ nut - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone verify if this is the factory bolt and nut for the in bed spare tire holder? I was told it is just missing the large washer that holds against the wheel. Thanks

Hard to tell from the picture, but is the nut tapered like a lug nut? If it is, it could go into a lug nut hole on the wheel. I bought an aftermarket spare tire holder; it has a strap, not a washer. I don't know what the factory set up looked like, I have an under bed mount which I am not going to use. I'm not even sure it is all there.

Not sure on the hardware because it's impossible to find

That spare holder looks to be a square body holder as the 67-72's have different mounting feet. So maybe someone with 73+ knowledge would chime in.

I really hadn't looked but yes it actually looks like a lug nut with the handle welded on to it.

You are correct. I got it from a guy who only had 67-72 parts so I assumed it was 67-72 but
Now that you point that out, I just checked and you are correct. It is square body. Thanks for the heads up before I scewed up.

Since this is now in the wrong area, I am moving this tread to the 73-87 group. Thanks for the help.

The photo of the bracket that bolts to the bed is identical to the one that came with the 73 stepside bed I bought at Pick & Pull.
