Has anyone ever altered a one half ton spare tire side mount so it can be used as a three quarter or one ton mount? In the factory assem. manual, it just appears the mounting plate is turned upside down.

One thing that you'll want to keep in mind is that the 3/4 ton has a larger bolt pattern on the wheel. The plate for the 3/4 ton is probably larger as well to accomodate this. You could make a new plate with the bolts set up for the larger bolt pattern, weld it on in place of the 1/2 ton plate.
