Woogeroo, those pics are awesome! I'm new to these trucks and was having a heck of a time figuring out how the spare was supposed to be mounted. Thanks!

Now I just have to find a carrier for sale. My truck was missing that part when I bought it.

Going back to the OP's original question, it looks like your installation has the tire snug against a rail so there's no movement?

Also, not trying to thread-jack, but does anyone know is there any difference between the carrier hardware on various years? I have a '66 C-20 fleetside and I'm wondering if a '65 has the same hardware or should I be shopping for ONLY a '66 spare tire carrier?

Thanks
