I need two pictures. One from an 87 LWB spate tire mounted under the bed, and one from an 82 LWB K20 spare tire mounted under the bed

the mounts are one in the same..

I need a picture of location

And not completely, I have one for my 82 but it has 16 inch so it won't work on my 87 with 15 inch rims. There is a cross member there and I need to see if the tire mounts behind it

Ok, there is a cross frame back there seems like it would interfere with tire sitting in the straight.

Previous owner removed mine because they were damaged. I keep forgetting to see if the trucks in the salvage yard have them...

Rust took one of mine away. Good thing I had my spare carrier chained up for antitheft purposes. One moment I'm driving down the road and hit a bump, the next moment I'm dragging something which turned out to be my spare and what was left of a crossmember.

Ontario and Quebec use almost as much salt as New York State. I always pressure wash the GMC after a run to Montreal.
