i was thinking about this the other day (probably not the first time this has been mentioned) and thought it would be great to install a 67-72 suburban spare tire well in the bed of a lwb 67-72 pickup. i think this would go a long way to solving the fuel-tank-in-the-spare-tire-location, what-do-i-do-with-my-spare-tire dilemma. any thoughts? Mar-K?

I wanted to do this too, but the place were I was planning it,
(at the far rear end of the bed) I couldn't go deep enough because the exhaust exits there and I have a bed cover.
So the idea has been shelved ever since...
But still it's a killer idea!!
