Spare Tire Holder

So what years had a spare holder in the box/bed?
I was just looking at my old 76 and its got the tire holder inside the back of the box on the drivers side.
(Im not talking about a SCS tire holder Im talking regular long wheelbase pickup.)
Most pickups used to have that setup but Ive had a few 70's pickups and this is the first one Ive seen for awhile.

I have one in my '78 F-350 Camper Special in the front passenger side of the bed.

It wasn't year-specific.

It was one of few spare tire carrier options.

The side mounted spare tire carrier was available on any 1973/79 F100/350 with a styleside box except the 140" wheelbase.

The wide respected NumberDummy might have a part number for this. If we hold hands and chant around the crystal ball he may speak to us hehe

Including the 1973/79 140" wheelbase Trailer Special's...if someone wanted to carry an extra spare.

These are usually mounted ahead of the rear wheel...on the driver or passenger side. Or at the front of the bed.

How about posting the pic, then I will type the part numbers, see if anyone has anything.

The pic sez F250...but the parts will fit most anything.

Illustration Section 10, Page 17 - lower pic.

btw: This optional spare tire carrier fits INSIDE the bed. It is not the same as the type that fits inside the right quarter panel behind a door on Camper/Trailer Specials.

There's not much to it...as y'all will plainly see.

Are you sure your F350 is a Camper Special?

ALL 1973/76 F350 Super Camper Specials and 1977/79 F350 Camper Specials:

The spare tire mounts inside the right quarter panel behind a door.

It's not a Super Camper Special w/ the extended wheelbase & funky bed set-up....it's just a regular Camper Special w/ the bracket shown above in the bed.

I WISH it was a SCS.....I wouldn't be scrapping it then.

Thanks!

I have one that work for all trucks, it's called rope. Or you just leave the spare at home, I have 3 spares and plus I don't have to worry about them going missing.
