Looking for parts

[jaybirdk5]

Restoring 69 Blazer and I am missing spare tire carrier ( of course ) . Are reproductions available? I would really like the original, seems like they are hard to come by.
The model I have is a CST and the bed panels were destroyed by the previous owner and I am looking for originals or reproductions that are exact ( they have the scrolling on the top portion of the panels.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Welcome to the forum from a fellow Illinois resident just south of you. 69's have some idiosyncrasies, is there enough of the bed floor left to see of your truck had a spare carrier. They are not reproduced but if i recall some guys use the 73 and up (which is repopped). Unsure on the panels, I think those are. I also have a 69 cst that needs a full resto. Got any pictures ,all the guys here love pics?

You can get your rear panels through board member TruckSeats. As far as the spare tire carrier, they pop up from time to time on the Blazer parts board, here on the site. If you want to be proactive, you can place a Want To Buy add in that same parts forum. Just title it WTB: Spare Tire Carrier and hopefully someone will have something for you. Otherwise Craigslist and eBay are options...but generally not as nice to deal with as the guys on here. Good luck.

Thank you very much. The bed is in almost perfect condition. There are the hole where the original spare tire carrier was mounted. I will place an ad on the classified . Hope to have pictures up in the next couple of days. This site is very informative and everyone seems really cool.
