spare carrier

Hey Guys,
Has anyone retrofitted a later model crank down spare tire carrier instead of the lame bracket unit from the factory? I am thinking about trying it on my 95 if possible.
Thanks.

I've been thinking of making myself one for my current truck. I've ruined two of those factory ones on other trucks, so I'm not even going to bother getting one from the junkyard.

Am curious about this too...have had the spare in the bed since I bought the truck, have gotten the stuff to remount it underneath (haven't gotten around to actually doing it), but would rather do a crankdown style one if somebody has a good idea how to retro one.

If I have time to dig through my scrap piles and build something, I'll post pics.

Oh, need to get my spare mounted to an old rim I have, first, though.
