They originally went under the back part of the bed, although many were remounted to the driver's stepside; for ease of access I suppose. I like the look of the stepside
mount but am concerned about originality. The
under bed spare tire carrier can be purchased from J Carter's for $289 and change . Here's a
picture of the original look. This particular truck,
Willoughby\'s 1946 1/2 ton, still had the original under bed spare tire carrier when purchased. Here's
Tom Brown\'s at Brad's site.
Does anyone else have an opinion about the mounting of the spare? You've got me sitting on the fence again..
