What's a square body?? So, if I go to the junk next time...I know what to look out for.

Is your c10 a shortbed or long? I saw a similar spare tire holder, but didn't bother taking it out at the junkyard because of it not fitting under my shortbed. Also, my 67 does not have a leaf (I don't know if that matters).
