« on: April 23, 2015, 06:51:06 pm »
So google did no justice on this one. I'm looking for the in the bed spare tire mount. I was told my 86 had the spare tire mounted in the bed but the mount was removed. Anyone know where to buy one? Anyone have pictures? Thanks in ahead. - blue

Something like this would be easy to make.  I got something similar in my garage, I will take a picture of it and post it tomorrow if I can find it.

That's the factory in-bed spare tire mount on my truck.

  I've never seen a factory set up before.
  This is the set up I made for my 2000 K2500. It holds the truck spare & the trailer spare securely in place in the bed.

And I don't think it was stock. My 86 Silverado was a one owner truck. It was sold to a small buy here pay here dealership where I rescued it from. Probably why I couldn't find anything on it lol

30 bucks probably isn't too bad if you can't find one in good shape anywhere else for the same price or cheaper.
