In-bed spare tire carrier
Hi, folks. Would anybody have a photo of a factory-installed spare tire carrier on the bed? Was it originally left or right? thanks for any info.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
May be a dumb question, but do you mean inside the bed, or out on the step side fender?

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
I think from what I can recall any I have ever seen with a spare tire either in or outside the bed were on the drivers side. I guess it was so it wouldn't get in the way of the drivers vision?

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
If I remember right, the inside the bed carrier was on the driver side. But, it's been a while...

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
My 70 had the spare tire carrier on the passenger side of the bed.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
Most fleetsides I have seen with that option had it towards the front of the bed on the driver's side. Supposedly it creates less of a blind spot there.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
Thanks for the reference photos guys. I saw this one posted on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_8563wt_1078
Wow, I mean wow. Nice one. Seems the placement depended on the customer's preference. 3 photos with 3 different locations. But the blind side argument seems logical. |

Wonder if the tire was moved because he put the tonneau on upside down.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
Has anyone thought about the idea of using a spare wheel well, inverting it (and closing off the open side) and then mounting it into the floor? The idea would be to allow the tire to sit below the bed rail and in a area that doesn't get a lot of use. On a long bed, the area in front of the wheel well would be a perfect spot.
Just an idea I have had rolling around in my head for years.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
My 72 has the spare tire in the back on the passenger side also. I don't know if it's factory or not.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
Mine is on the drivers side on my 71. No hardware and I usually run a tool box so it doesn't get used much of the time.

Re: In-bed spare tire carrier
When I bought my truck there was one on each side in the back.
I have thought about using a wheel tub, upside down in front of the current tub; just haven't gotten that far. Does anyone have a picture of that setup?
