The previous people covered it and repainted...I want to get the well, the rod and pieces to do this. Where do I find them? Do they still make any of those parts? And what about the top piece that went over the tire, was it painted the color of the body or the fenders? thanks guys.

What year do you have? I have a 56 with the spare tire well but I've never seen any top piece to cover the tire as you've suggested. I do have a vinyl cover over my tire tho.
I applaud your wanting to bring the original look back! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 61 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 61 | have a 36 chev 1/2 ton, and there is a piece of metal about 7" by 3" with rounded corners that fits on top of tire, it goes thru the rod that holds he tire in place. Guess it's swatmeets for me to find this stuff...

The top nut can be made from hex stock on any small lathe.
34 & 35 trucks are the greatest
