Spare tire set-up for '50 Chevy?

[JollySipper]

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...................

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.pdf

A note on this, if you're looking to go factory stock, the sidemount was not an option until '53.

Thanks, Bill! 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.........

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.
