mounting brackets. What did they look like?

Sorry I have no pics. Brian | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 24 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 24 | I hope someone can post a picture. I don't see any obvious connection points on the underside frame. The center joist(?) has three 5/16-3/8 holes in it (with a bolt with an empty crimp lug in the middle hole - maybe it was a ground?).

U.S Royal, bias ply spare tire, & it's mounted in a standing position, inside the bed, up against the (right side) inner bedside. It has a Factory looking stand with a threaded stud for the tire to bolt onto. There's nothing under the bed. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | Both in bed & under bed carriers were available. No obvious signs under truck because they use holes already drilled in the frame, one bolt on each framerail. Carrier mounts at an angle, pass side is near the bumper. See if you can find a 73-87 to look at, I have no clue how to post pics. | | |
