Lowered and tank under the bed question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where do you put the spare tire? We are going with a wooden floor and I believe the only option is to put it in the back with some type of cover over it. Any one got other suggestions? Pics as well.

* Get a very good roadside service
* Saddle tanks and leave the spare where it is
* Your suggestion but you will need to bolt the tire inside the bed

This only works on long beds though, not sure what you have.

If I had one I'd just throw it in the bed.
