Spare Tire Holder /Inside Fleetside Bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

flashed · 01-21-2012, 12:07 AM

Has anyone used the spare tire holder from LMC for inside the bed for a short fleetside truck ? Is it good quality ,would you use it again if you needed one. Does any other supplier sell them ?I keep missing the ones in the classifieds so Im considering a new one ,anyone out there used one and happy with it?

Let me know what you have as I would like to add one to mine .

rpmgroup · 01-21-2012, 02:17 PM

can you mount the bracket on the driver's side?

**leddzepp** · 01-21-2012, 02:42 PM

You can mouint it on either side. I have seen them in various places on trucks.

I have the one from LMC. I believe it is made by Valley ind, if I remember correctly. Nice piece, but it is a flat bar style.

What does the stock hardware look like? In the last pics looks like a std carriage bolt ?

The one posted is just a cariage bolt. Don't think the bolt is original, I'd imagine the factory one was lost years ago.

Anyone got pics of these with the spare mounted to the bed ,both left and right side pics would be nice. When I find one of these I need to decide which side Im going to put it on. Im thinking I like it on the passenger side as pictured above .

I've got mine mounted on the driver's side and will try to get pics soon to post.

I like it on the driver's side because it never enters my vision when I'm driving. I never tried it mounted to the passenger side, but would be worried that I might catch a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye or something and think there was someone in my blind spot or something like that.

I dunno. I'm sure those that have it on the passenger side can quickly confirm that it's no problem to have it there.

I've seen them in all four corners of the bed.

drivers front

drivers rear

passenger front

passenger rear

Thanks for posting those pics ,that is just what I was looking for. Now I just have to get one and take it to the bodyshop to be painted with the truck someday .

Gokart Mozart · 01-23-2012, 06:39 PM

I guess the ones in the rear are easier to get to if you need them when you have a load of stuff in the bed.

drewskiren · 01-25-2012, 11:31 AM

I like it.
