But I want to mount my spare on the fender of my 59 stepside it has the factory fender cut out but when I puchased the truck the hardware was gone that holds the spare on and I can't seem to find where to buy it or what it looks like. Actually my wife wants me to mount the spare in the factory spot and I agree if it keeps the money flowing into restoring the truck. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 | Hey 59: got the same set up on my 59 and YES I am keeping mine the same way. Thats why they put it there to use!!  Welcome to the board anyway I'll try to get a picture of it and describe it. where to find one I do not know. Have looked in all the books and haven't seen it yet. About a month ago somebody else was looking for one. popcorn The Truth is Out There (Send me an e-mail to popcorn3023@yahoo.com if you waant so I can send a direct picture to you) Pops aka Ben Corn | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 5 | Look at the pictures of the used spare tire side carriers on this web site..... www.AmericanClassic.com

Set up a search in "My ebay" and it will e-mail you when one pops up. Good luck. :p
They named it Apache cause it has a patchy welded here and a patchy welded there.

But couldn't you take the LMC mount to a local welder and have him (or her!) put on a different plate with studs on it for the size wheel you have... I've seen it done.... | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 30 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2006 Posts: 30 | I looked at LMC and the only spare tire mount I saw was for in the bed. I do think if someone could email me a good pic and the measurements I could make it fairly easy I figure it is a simple design. let me know if someone saw the step side spare mount at LMC. I know alot of people have changed fenders to do away with fender mount spares and aren't going to use the hardware I would be interested. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 | 59: Got the pictures on my computer plus all measurements you will need.
