In Bed Side Mount Tire Cover? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rich72C10 · 01-04-2021, 01:01 PM

I have recently installed a OEM Side Mount Spare Tire carrier in my 72 C10 and it looks fabulous, if I say so myself! But I am wondering if there is any option for a Vinyl cover?

I cannot find anything on my web searching - since I am pretty sure I'll need one that is not a full circle (say like one you put on the back of a Jeep spare tire). What I am thinking is I need something from an inside spare tire cover, like in an older Suburban where the tire was inside and the cover was kind of opened where it met the wheel well.

Am I making sense here? Any ideas on sourcing something like this?

Why not check with an upholstery shop. Maybe incorporate a stiff circle into it for outside of ring. Surprising how innovative they can be sometimes. At the very least you may get some ideas to mull over from them.

Trailer /RV tire cover. Use them on the RV tires to keep the sun off them

Grumpy Old Man could make one for you. He reproduced a couple of OEM-style K5 CST spare tire covers and did a good job.

Thanks for the RV idea, not liking the white and I didn't see much on black options. Perhaps Grumpy will pop in
