Long step side bed info needed.
« on: February 19, 2015, 08:32:33 pm »
I have a long step side bed with dimple for spare tire off of a 73 forestry truck. I am trying to find a picture of the spare tire bracket so I can build one as close to original as possible. I have searched the web and cannot find one with the spare tire option. Thanks for any help.

That isn't going to be easy to find.  Is it inside or outside the bed.  I remember seeing one but don't remember where.

Thanks for the reply. It is outside the bed just behind the cab on the drivers side. It has holes there but the bracket is gone. It was on a half ton with 5 hole wheels so I would like to build an original style bracket but have it fit an 8 hole rim.

I think it looks like this for Long beds...

Thank you Captkaos. That looks like the mounting bolt pattern. That will definitely help!
