Spare Tire Carrier on 1984 C10

[Monson]

Ok, dumb question. My truck came with the spare flat in the bed and no carrier underneath. I've hit some junk yards...most use the bed for parts headed for the crusher. The frames don't have the carriers or I would have bought one. Is there a place online to order one of these or am I going to have to beg one of the junkyards to save me one?

i used a crank one off of a 88-98 and mounted it on a cross brace. i have pics if I can find them.

here is the link with my crappy cell phone pics. i love the crank. drilled a hole right above the tag. i use a tire tool to lower the spare.

I hit the bone-yards for mine. Seems they were all either cut or removed for dual exhaust through the years, or just thrown away so they are surprisingly scarce. They can be cleaned up fairly easily and the bolts can be fabricated from bulk bolts and threaded rod.

I was gonna buy the side carrier for inside the bed.

I am so doing this...

I may use a temp spare from a Caprice too so the tire doesn't hang below the bumper.
