    A couple of you have asked for pictures of my spare tire side mount bracket. Here they are. Let me know if you need specific dimensions.

    Shipping?

    Charles,

    Let me see if I can find out how much it will cost to ship this and I will get back to you.

    Here are the dimensions for the tire side mount. Hope it helps. I'm not a draftsman. Let me know if you have more questions.

    Thanks for the dimensions! :cool: Two quick questions. The lip on the two sides of the flat triangle piece appears to be about 1/2", is this about right? Secondly, what is the approximate diameter of the round stock for the braces? Thanks, again.

    Josh,
    The lip on the triangle piece is a 1/2" and the round stock is also a 1/2 inch.


    Good luck,
    Jerry

    Charles, et al.,

    Three people indicated an interest in my side mount within a few minutes of each other. Some by post and some by PM.

    I think it will cost about $25.00 to ship and I think $25.00 is a fair price for the mount (making a total of $50).

    Anyone still interested... I am thinking of a number between 1 and 14.5. The person that is closest will get the mount [assuming you are still interested].

    Sorry to have taken so long to reply. It has been pushing 80° in Texas, this week so I have been getting a lot of outdoor work done.

    Robert, here is a link to pics of the spare tire mount off of my truck. It is not the one that I mentioned selling. The one for sale is yellow and as mentioned in a PM has one of the support rods that is bent some. I feel it could easily be straightened. My original intention was to possibly modify the extra for a 5 bolt wheel so I would not have to damage my original. I don't know if that will ever happen or not as I bounce back and forth between the idea of going back to 6 bolt stock style wheels or changing front drums to 5 bolt car drums to keep the wheels that are on the truck now while getting rid of the adapter plates that have been on it for the last 40 years.

    I cannot find pictures that I have taken of the yellow tire mount. Also, the mounting bolts are damaged or missing as it was difficult removing the spare tire mount from the parts truck when I bought it.

    Had Second thoughts on this idea of this new game, I have two tire holders on my truck already and really do not need more. Thanks for offering it anyway.
    Regards,
    Charles

    I'm interested. I'm still acquiring parts for my rebuild, and I'd like to have the side mount, as I do have the correct fender on hand. Brother in Law lives off Culebra, down the road from you... I'm Bill Brubaker, wgbruba1@live.com

    Sorry Bill...

    The side mount will be on its way to Yodaman as soon as I get the check in the mail.
