Bed Mounted Spare Tire?
Hey guy, anybody got a bed mounted spare tire rigged up? I'm carrying mine around in the bed but its holding leaves. I took the old gas tack mount out because water and clay just stay and rust my gas tank which is something i don't need happening. So if anybody has and bed mounted spares with pics it would be much help. Thanks guys

Here are a couple of pic's.
The first one is the mount itself, a PO moved it from the original location at the front of the bed to the rear.
The second pic is where the mount was originaly located.

I'm pretty sure you can get new ones from lmc truck. I don't know how close to original they are but they should be pretty functional.

And I believe the Bumpsides had their bed mounted spares located in the rear of the bed, driver's side.

If you can weld/fabricate something like this should be VERY easy to do. Just quickly thinking about it I could do it with 2 short pieces of angle iron, a tube or flat stock plate for the vertical and then a large nut/bolt and a over-sized fender type washer for the hold down.

Plus with the tire in place you won't really even see the bracket behind the tire, so doesn't matter much what it looks like.
