Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!

Side mounted spare is nice for a driver that you are actually going to drive and use. A battle of laying under the back of the truck in the mud or on pavement so hot in the summer time that you get burns on any bare skin that touches it will convince you of that even tough the look doesn't jive with the clean and uncluttered look.

My 77 long bed C10 had the spare under the bed and on the one flat I had on it it took longer to get the spare out from under the truck than it did to jack it up and swap tires and go. Dang, that was amost 50 years ago.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
