JollySipper Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey, Friends........ Does anyone know of a caster of spare tire fenders for the AMT '50 Chevy pick-up? And maybe a way to mount the spares to the body? Thanks for any help................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I can't really help with a resin source for the fender, but here's the plans for the carrier part of it for the 1:1. http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/images/pdf-1-side mount spare.pdfA note on this, if you're looking to go factory stock, the sidemount was not an option until '53.

So where would the spare be mounted on a '50 model? Under the bed, or inside of the bed? I'm planning a custom anyway, but would like it to be half correct.........

Longbox55 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Under the bed. The correct stock carrier should be in the kit, or at least it is in the stock version. Since you're going custom, adding the sidemount wouldn't be "wrong", as many of those trucks did get them added when they were customized, especially during the '70s.
