Short Bed Spare Tire?
I have an '88 F150 Shortbed. It has two gas tanks and the tire rack is either missing, or nonexistant. Do these trucks come with a spare tire holder under the bed, or is that forfeited by having an extra tank?
Where would be a good place to find this rack, other than the dealer?

I have an 87 short bed, standard cab, that has dual tanks and a spare tire under the bed...
Sounds like you are missing the hardware...:-(

Attaboy2k2,
If you're in the Denver, Co area I'll give that whole set-up. I have a 91 shortbed with dual tanks. I pulled that (*%^&%$ thing off last time I had to try to use it...at night....in the rain....on a gravel road.... Now I use one one the JC Whitney in-the-bed tire holders. I bought the cheap one that just hooks under the lip of your bed rail. I drilled a couple of 1/2" holes in the holder and the bed rail and bolted it in.

Attaboy,
I tried to email you at that address but I couldn't get through.
I'll check on the shipping cost and try the email again.

Attaboy,
I tried to respond to your email, but I got the dreaded "user is not accepting mail from this sender" message.
The part is about 9 pounds and measure about 50"x8"x8".
