C30 standard spare tire carrier and crossmember question

[fordguy40]

Hey guys,

Can someone confirm for me that the spare tire carrier and the front crossmember the tire rests up against on the C30 is the same as that for the C/K 10&20? Doesn't look like my truck came with a spare and as such, the front crossmember is not there.

I gotta 90 Crew Cab at home & a couple 1/2 tons to compare to.
Will that work?

Hey Andy,

I think that'd work. I'm assuming all squarebody crewcabs were one tons? I seem to remember reading that there were 3/4 ton cc's....still learning about these trucks, though. In any case, I'd appreciate your checking.
