Spare tire - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a bastardized 67 c-10. When i looked under the rear of the bed i noticed there was no spare tire, and no provision to put one. The p o had installed a tow hitch that bolts to the frame and has a bar running through the area where a tire would probably hang. The bar is welded to a crossmember behind where i think the spare should go. The rear crossmember was nothced for clearance and the removable part of the hitch would have to go through the license plate. I guess at one time the truck was run without a rear bumper because the one on it partially covers the opening for the hitch. All of this trash is leaving the vehicle. How can i mount a spare?
