Thanks.

the s10 came with a cable/crank down holder. if yours is missing, and as long as you havent changed that crossmember by cutting it out or otherwise, you can just pick up another. you will need the extension piece that clips into the crank assembly and lets you use the tire iron.
I dont tend to use them because the tire is really visible from the back, but if you are running a bumper you can make an apron or if you arent running a bumper you can add a rollpan that keeps it from view.
as an alternative, you can put a side mounted spare on the bed, thats a good look. it sticks a little higher on a shortbed to keep off the fender, but it still looks nice. the 53 actually had an option for a nice strong side mount and a dimpled fender!
