Correct. I want to say it was RPO P13 or something like that (I meant to check the SPID label and forgot). We always put the tire up in the bed where it can stay clean, plus it allows some more room for my hidden trailer hitch....(did I mention I have a hidden trailer hitch on my truck?).

I even retrofit a carrier into my stepside, even though it was not available as a production option (you might recall side mounted spares on stepsides, mounted on the outside of the fender):
