Spare Tire Tailgate

Hey All,
Does anyone know if there is a company that makes a spare tire tailgate like a blazer for trucks? I thought I had seen one before, but cant remember.

Kind of. I was looking for one that I could still use the tailgate. Similar to something on a Bronco. But this helps, Thanks!

Couldn't you just mount the Bronco spare tire carrier and associated components on the truck?

I recall reading that the Bronco's have some additional bracing in the 'bed' corner. Hopefully someone will post with some useful information!

Yes there is additional support for the carrier, even Bronco owners that

want to add the exterior tire/gas can(like mine) carrier can not do it

do to lack of support system.

ALL the other types of carries WILL carry a hefty price tag.
