Need pic of IN BED spare tire carrier - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It has been forever since I paid attention to the in bed spare tire carrier.... I have been wanting one for my truck and I found one today laying in the bed of a 58 truck. I think it is for a 60-66 at least looks like it will fit.

Does anyone have a pic of the factory in bed mount I can compare with ?

I didn't know there was such a thing.

I will post pics of mine tomorrow, It is stamped steel and matches the curves of the inside of the bed. I have seen several over the years and probably have another one tucked away in a storage tote or box somewhere.

Thanks, I have seen those before and I think it is an add on or universal aftermarket type.... one size fits all

The one I have and am refering to is contoured/shaped to the inside of the bed. I think it just has to be original to fit this well... I will post pics of this type tomorrow, after I take some

sigshooter · 01-26-2012, 10:52 PM

Here is the type I was talking about..... anyone have or seen one of these?

darkhorse970 · 01-27-2012, 07:18 AM

I don't have one but would like to add it to my '63. Do you have one you'd sell?

jbgroby · 01-27-2012, 10:48 AM

this is the one I had from my Fleetside

jbgroby · 01-27-2012, 10:49 AM

I've got one of them thar thingamajiggies.

**aerotruk63** · 01-27-2012, 11:39 AM

The style in Revoh's truck is the one I have for my truck as well. They were the same style into the seventies. The later ones need to be shortened however.

darkhorse970 · 01-27-2012, 05:08 PM

Interesting...I might have one out of a '72. I will have to "test fit" it.

**pdxhall** · 01-27-2012, 06:45 PM

I'm learning new things all the time around here. Great!

Old thread but anyone ever try, or imagine, using an extra rear wheelhouse inverted -between regular wheelhouse and front bed panel? Sort of recessed in the bed, so the tire sits low almost out of sight. Drain hole for water. Ability to bolt/secure/lock spare to inside bed wall or bracket. Maybe wouldn’t work since it would weaken the cross bars? This would be on a Long Fleetside. Want to relocate fuel tank from cab to under bed so will lose that spare tire space. I want to be able to use the bed to haul stuff so I don’t want the spare just laying in the bed. Yes, Mr. Prepared wants to carry a spare, and a jack, and a lug wrench!
Am I stupid to try this? If so talk me out of it!

FamilyTruckster65 · 02-04-2023, 01:13 AM

Yes, that has been done.

Thanks I’ll keep searching

Pretty sure this is from this site, but I don't know who to credit it to.

My 75 Sub had the spare carrier inside... probably where that came from.
