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

I just bought what I thought was a cool alternative to locating my spare tire. The hanger under the bed was a wreck and was wired to the underside. And with the dual exhaust just a bit too snug, I needed an out.
I bought this T-handle that goes under the lip of the bed but the lug hole is too low for it to work well.
What have you guys done???

We don't carry spares unless we go on long trips. We just throw an old spare in the bed when we do make the longer trips.

Mine is currently strapped to the side of my rollover bar in the bed with a cargo strap, thinking about fabbing up a proper mount for it at the side of bed as it's too wide to fit in the stock location underneath. Oh, it also has a chain and padlock to deter any light fingered passers-by
