Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build

Next up is the height of the spare tire on the drivers side...I mocked up a wheel with wood for support and took some pictures...Thoughts on mounting height? No idea of mount height of OEM without a fender cutout. I know fender cutout spare tires were hung higher than any of my pictures.

The first picture is sitting on the step, but in actuality, it would not rest on the step...so an inch higher than this. The 2nd picture is 4 1/2" off the deck and the last picture is 6" off the deck.

Thoughts? I don't think I like it super close to the deck, but have no opinion on the last 2 pictures...I could go higher also...I have plenty of wood to mock it up.
