Does anyone have pictures of a spare tire rack and how its mounted on a 1964 chevy long bed step side, Im trying to rebuild my dads first truck back to as close to factory as possible... Also being that it is a long bed step side and this rack is made for the outside of the bed, does it need to have a notched fender??
Thanks for any help!

You mention "as close to factory as possible"... here is a photo of the stock "factory" set-up with the notched fender on a longbed stepside.

In regards to needing the notched fender I'd suggest setting a tire on the step and seeing if there is enough room, kinda depends on the diameter of tire you are running.

You could make your own bracket, I fabricated one out of structural steel for my shortbed shop truck.
