Picture wanted of in bed spare mounting..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ChiefRocka** · 06-18-2008, 09:45 AM

I just aquired this bed spare tire mount, and need to know what the hardware looks like. Mabey I could reproduce it, if it isn't available.

Is it just an L or J shaped bolt in the hole, with a plate and wingnut or something ??

The bed floor has the holes I need, just need to drill the top.

Thanks guys....

Hey John,
Where did you get that? I don't think I've seen one before. I would like to find some way (that doesn't cost too much) to mount my spare. Nice find.

I think I have one in "the shed"
I'll check it out when I get Home

my 65 parts truck had the in bed mount, my 65 dd had an under bed mount.
My side mount was missing the hardware as well.

I was going to just build a mount...no big deal, but I came up with this one. This way, I can run a rear tank and a spare.

Well I mounted my spare just using a 3/8" carriage bolt, however still looking for a pic of the correct style fastener/mount.

This was in LMC truck catalog.

Thanks man...although that looks like an aftermarket mount.

Wonder if the hold down design is stock ??

At this point, I think I'm gonna stop being anul, and just make a nice lockable mount and call it a day !

Thanks !!

Here's mine. I have no reason to believe it isn't original. It has a bolt with an end kind of like a railroad spike that slips through the bracket, and sort of a hand-threadable retaining bold thingie. Maybe it's missing a piece after looking at that catalog picture, but either way, the wheel stays put.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-21-2008, 10:43 PM

Thanks man, that's exactly what I needed to see !!!

I just realized I have that same bolt on my rolling chassis' under tire carrier.

With the under carrier, by installing a pad-lock, you couldn't drop the mount even if unscrewed all the way....

Now, not sure how you would lock the in bed type??

Cool man, thanks again.

Maybe drill a hole through the end of the bolt, and then use a tiny padlock?
would be probably enough to stop a grab and go...

Thats what I did with the trailer hitch on my truck. We've got a problem around here with people stealing those off of trucks (of all things.....), so i just drilled a hole through the end of the pin and put a small padlock on it. you can barely notice it, and I think its plenty enough to convince the bad guys to move on to something easier.

Hey John, that spare holder looks very similar to what is in a 'burb. Im missing my hardware though......

**slepysal** · 06-24-2008, 06:25 PM
