step side spare tire fenders
Is there a company that makes the spare tire fenders for steppers or do i have to get out the die grinder?

Re: step side spare tire fenders
I don’t know of any company that makes a spare tire fender
Your best thing to do is find a used one, just make sure it’s for the correct bed that you’re using (short or long bed) there different. I think there would be way to much work to create one. Also get the spare tire mount with the fender they can be a little hard to find some times. If you’re interested in what I did to convert my truck to a spare tire fender and mount check out my build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=318544&page=4

Re: step side spare tire fenders
I didn't realize that the fenders were different. I have a long bed stepper that i plan on making a shorty... thanks for the info.

Re: step side spare tire fenders
nope, no company repops the spare cutout. most folks ditched them for a cleaner look, but I have become a big fan of them. one down side though........ you have to 5 nice rims and tires for the truck. doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up!

Re: step side spare tire fenders
i was always under the impression the only difference between a long and short step bed was the steps themselves ... not the fenders.

Re: step side spare tire fenders
Personally, I have always liked the side mounted spare. A lot of people respond positively to mine. Does add to overall expense though.

Re: step side spare tire fenders
I like the idea of carrying the spare. But the mount like said before is difficult to find along with a decent cutout fender that isn't rotted out on the fender mounting flange.
