factory 80 series tire location mechanicals? Still have yours?

[BrettinSanAntonio]

Those with bumper mounted tire carriers on an 80,

I'm removing my swing out tire carrier for a number of reasons and returning my spare tire to under the truck in the factory location. However, the previous owner removed the mechanism that raises and lowers the tire. Anyone have said mechanism that they would like to part with?

You going to post up pics of the carnage?

I have a couple from 60s.

I don't think they'll fit an 80 but I don't know for sure. Isn't the underside at the tire mount different?

 

[warpdriv]

not sure. Can you post up the bolt hole measurements? I will go out and measure the ones I have.

 

[BrettinSanAntonio]

Yes, good idea. I'll crawl under there in the morning and measure/photograph.

Jeff, I'll take one of your 60 series ones if you have some to spare. I'd like to install it under my trailer.

The assembly is 39" from center hole to center hole. On an 80 is is 39 1/2. It's worth a try.

How much y'all think they are worth?
