I've got one of those new fangled 1965 models, I built my own carrier.

It's hell-for-stout, and it's totally hidden with the tire in place.

It also stiffens up the bed side considerably because it ties the stake pocket into the bed rail.

Here's a couple photo links:

I hope that helps. If nothing else maybe it'll get some ideas floating around in your head on how you too can build your own.
