I'm looking for a spare tire carrier for my '69 Flareside/Stepside.

Does anyone know where I can get one? I've not managed to find anything at the local junkyards.

Thanks.

ok man have u tried *** catalog?? its a booook of parts and such stuff and does it look like the fleet side one ??

 

No, it doesn't look like the fleet side one. The spare tire on a flareside sits next to the driver side rear fender outside the bed.

BTW, the name of the catalog was censored :-(

You might want to spell it out like el am see etc.

Please don't try to get around the filters, see 2.4 of the user guidelines, thanks!

 

I have one that came with my '77 flareside, but I think it might be a home made job. I'll go take a pic of it.

 

i have a 71 stepside that had a spare tire carrier under the bed in the back im not going to use it

 

also try looking for a 52 to 72 rear fender that has the cut out in it

 

good point Ird56, mine's a longbox so I dont have the dimpled fender.

 

My flareside has the dimple on the fender. So the spare tire would go there. However, I'd still need a carrier to hold the tire.

Is the flareside truck is too short to hold the spare tire under the bed? I could, if I know where to get a carrier. The dual exhausts go out in front of the rear wheels.

Do any of the sponsors sell something like that?

There's not much to it, i say if you could get a pic that you might cound make one

 

my 71 flareside/stepside had the carrier in the back under the frame but i took it out i got tired of laying on the ground trying tohold it up to put it back also i put in a rear tank i still have the brackets and the bolts i cant put it in the fte ads because i just signed up

 

yeah, I just realized that I cant post attachments because I'm a new user

 

Okay, heres the picture. Like I said, I think its home made.

 

Thanks for the pic.

How does it mount to the truck?

Ben

 

There's three bolt holes in the side of the bed. Right above where its sitting. Mines on the passenger side too. Of course, this design would work on the other side as well.

Come to think of it, I have a picture of the truck with the tire mounted on the box. I can load it up if you'd like.

 

Thanks for the info.

Ben
