Fender Mount Spare Tire
Just found this fender mount spare tire at Fall Carlisle swap meet. It appears to be NOS with some rust around the edges. Not sure but looks like it was made for mid 70s to 1980 truck? Keith may know more about what years had this as an option. Thought it was interesting so bought it.

Re: Fender Mount Spare Tire
Another photo. Can get more different photos if interested. The person who had it, said he had it for a very long time, could not remember much about when, where it came from.

Re: Fender Mount Spare Tire
The 73-87 step sides came with two variations for the box. None spare tire and spare tire.
The spare tire style was an odd option not found on many trucks and some people hated them and others loved them. |

Re: Fender Mount Spare Tire
Stepside side mount spare was available '73 - '80.
Side mount was available as RPO P13 for both the stepside and fleetside; for the stepper it mounted on the fender and for the fleetside it was mounted inside the box (my '87 was ordered with RPO P13). By '81 it was done. Attached is the option description from the GM Heritage Center archive for 1981, showing that at that point P13 was for fleetside only (true for '81 and beyond). K

No drain holes? When it is in the installed position does it look like it would shed water or is water going to lay in the bottom? K

Re: Fender Mount Spare Tire
The spare would hide most of that ugly edge,But i think it would hold water with out a dain hole in it.
