After you figure out if it will fit with seat, the side wall will hold it. The weight is resting on the floor, so just a side load is on the panel and that is only in one direction. What kind of use/roads do you encounter? Of course there is always the swing away. May not be your cup of tea though. I can't remember but is there a space from under the rear to access behind that panel? Even a small gap between inner and outer sheet metal? My 66 had a spare mounted to the side with no problem. On the side mount, a tripod design would spread the load much better than a one bolt mount like I had. Like if you had a vintage pickup truck side mount bracket and modified and cut the legs really short. Or just a plate with three spaced out holes into side panel. Then one threaded stud for tire with a spin on large wing nut from a car trunk spare. Make a nice vinyl tire cover. Click
