Underbed Spare Tire Holder

[capeclassics]

Would appreciate any pics ya'll might have of where and how this apparatus attaches to the frame......All-right,I admit I'm lazy but it would probably take me half a day to figure it out on my own.

it just screws through the holes in the frame. the solid bolt goes through the drivers side and the hooked bolt goes through the passenger side. the whole thing will set at an angle to match up with the frame width

Anybody have a spare spare tire holder for sale? I'd like to have one for my own peace of mind.....

Jor, where did you get the replacement hardware? I noticed at the I-bolt connection you are useing a nutplate. Did it come in a kit?

Thanks, Ric.

I picked up one of the cable type carriers from a '97 ford yesterday at the salvage. I'll post some pictures of it when I get around to mounting it up.

I think it's factory although my 67 has only a nut. Here's a photo of the 67 (#1) and the 68 (#2).

Jor,were you actually able to unloose your spare tire from that apparatus?...I've had four of these trucks,....all Arizona natives,and I have never been able to take the spare tire off without hacksawing the eyebolt,...after a considerable amount of holy invocation,of course....

Yea, Joe, mine both work although I had to apply PB Blaster initially. My problem with both my 67 and 68 is the tires are too fat for the length of the bolt. The lever is pushed really tight into the tire. To take it down I put a floor jack under it to avoid that thing slamming down.

I have been thinking of using one of those reel down carriers also. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to mount it up.

I would love to see your pictures!
