Re: Spare Tire Holder/Lift

There are some trucks out there and I can't at the moment tell which ones that have a cable/chain setup that runs up to a shaft that runs in from the back of the bed, you put the piece that holds the rim though the center hole and crank it up into place. A hole lot easier than trying to wrestle the stock setup. You might have to stick your head under the backs of trucks at the wrecking yard and find something that will work.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
