Hello All -
I have a longbed stepside. Do I need one of those funky rear fenders that are adapted to fit a spare tire? My tire diameter is 27" and it looks like I have about 29" of space between the cab and the existing rear fender.
Also, where can I find a spare tire rack?
Thanks!

It's your call. If you want a factory stock look go with the "funky" fender and the stock spare tire carrier.

If you are ok with a non-stock look mount the spare on a custom mount between the fender and the cab.

It's all good... pick a theme and run with it.

Note that there are different fenders for a short bed with a spare and a long bed with a spare. Check out post #11 of my build thread here: http://talk.classicparts.com/showthread.php?t=13928

Where to find a stock spare tire mount? Try these guys, I have purchased parts from both of them... I'll vouch for them both thumbs_up

I got a buddy with one sitting in his garage Bats62c10. Ill send him a message and see if he still has it. He converted his truck from fender mounted spare to under bed.
