I had to slightly widen mine with a plate to make it fit the hole in the rim and actually hold it up.

Scott | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | I was looking for the same thing myself for a 1/2 ton. What I found at the junk yard was that the s-15 would work great in a truck if you use the hole in the roll pan for the crank handle. If you want the crank handle inside the suburban, look at the SUVs, especially the ford explorer, which has the crank lug on the floor inside the back of the suv.
Best of luck and let us know what you find out!

As an aside to this,What type of spare carrier was used on a 51 1/2 ton Subn?
Is it the same as a pickup?
Mine went missing when the Orig. owner put a tow hitch on the back,and i,d like to rig up something.
Thanks + Regards,
