I'm not sure where to post this, but will try the Bed forum. I currently carry my spare tire in my bed, but would like to mount it underneath. How were the original spares stored? Was there a cradle under the bed? I looked at mine, and didn't see anything obvious. Any suggestions on how/where to mount the spare tire and jack? By the way, right now I'm using a hydraulic jack - what was used originally and where was it stored? Thanks.

Hi Hoff,
Here's an older topic that has some pics. Not sure about the jack - I read somewhere that it was a mechanical crank jack stored behind the seat but have never seen one listed for sale or pics.
