I'm trying to figure out if anybody knows the proper spare tire location for a 51 3/4 ton chevrolet. I have seen trucks where they are on passenger side of bed, driver side of bed and under the bed. Which is correct??

If you have the 17" wheels, they won't fit underneath because the diameter is too large. The assembly manusl shows a spare rim being carried underneath.

In 1951, under the bed.

From 1953-55, a bed-side (driver's side of the bed) spare tire carrier was a factory option on pickups.

Looks like it was under the bed per this specification sheet.

It has the 15" original wheels. My grandpa had the spare on the passenger side of the bed, I can tell it isn't stock, but I was just tryin to figure out where it suppose to go.
