1970 fleetside spare tire?

[justin4260]

were in the world can you put a spare tire on a 70 lwb fleeted? i don't want to just throw it in the bed cuz somebody will steal it. is there a factory place or do you just have to make something up?

[jlsanborn]

In front of the rear bumper, under the bed. You're probably missing the holder.

[justin4260]

awesome man thanks. anybody got a picture so i know if i have the mount or not?

[Tango59]

It's a bar about 2 or 3 inches wide riveted between the frame rails, rear of the axle. If the tank has been relocated to the rear, the bar has been cut out.

[justin4260]

the tanks still in the cab. ill look when i get off work, I've never really looked to hard under there except to make sure the frame isn't rusted through lol

[Bucket of bolts]

Pretty sure mounting bar passenger side in bed bolts up vertically

[justin4260]

anybody have a picture of the tire actually mounted up under the bed?

[Churchill]

You could find one of these kind, Mine had it when I bought it, not sure if original or not.

[justin4260]

I've seen that on lmc truck for like 345 to $40 I'm just not digging the in bed thing

[jlsanborn]

I've got the whole setup out of my '67 but I'm in the rack with the flu. I'll try and get you some photos tomorrow.

Hey....if you need one, there may be someone on here that's selling one. If not, drop me a message and I will look for one in Southern California for ya. There's a number of guys here that dismantle those trucks close to me.

Always try Craigslist. Many guys will even send it by mail. Like I said.....I know lots of people selling parts of dismantled trucks.

[In The Ten Ring]

Mount it to the front bumper and save the bed space.

Mine was missing everything under the bed, but I bought all the parts. I think under the bed is a much cleaner look, for something that is rarely used, but necessary. But be warned, it is a ***** to remove and replace without getting dirty.

Here is an underbed pic for you.

[justin4260]

thanks thats what I've been looking for. i don't have the bar that goes at an angle

[jlsanborn]

These are the parts. The black painted piece should already be on your truck.

Hey....if you need parts I am going to visit a dismantler this weekend. If he has the parts, should I pick them up for you? If so, do need everything.....the bracket and the bolts? Do you need the stuff that bolts onto the frame also?

If I can get them for CHEAP, it may be worth the postage. This guy says he wants to get rid of all the stuff he has and move back east. If you wanted them and will pay for the shipping (no....I don't know how much it will be) I will try and get the parts for free.

[justin4260]

No thanks man. I've got more important things that came up. The truck eill have to wait I guess. But thanks for the offer, if this stuff didn't come up I would jump on your offer without a doubt

I plan on installing a cable hoist for the spare like in the newer trucks much simpler to get it up and down mounts with two bolts. 5 bucks at my local pull a part
