395 in-bed spare tire carrier

[wehring]

I built a spare tire carrier for one of the bobbers. My wheels make it easy to change tires so I only carry a spare tire instead of a tire/wheel combo. This is setup keeps the rain and crud out. I think the in-bed set up gives it an old school look.

What say ye?

Nice clean look with that disc, and love the little bumpers.

I like your hitch too. Good job on the spare tire rack.

 

[sirmrtow]

nice job,very clean installation

Looks good, its nice to be able to save some weight by not carrying a extra rim around.

 

[wehring]

thanks

Thanks for the kind comments folks. If anyone is intesested, I had the discs water jetted to 23" and the stainless allthread is the same thread as the lug nuts. The retaining nut is an extra lug nut.

Ok nice...but i see one thing thats missing?Where's the crane needed to load the tire in the back by yourself?

 

[SixSpeed]

Is that a Superhitch (or Superhitch Magnum)?

What are your thoughts on it?

 

[wehring]

Yup, need to move it over...

I changed the bed on this truck to a better one. I had not yet moved it over when I took these pics. Here is a pic of the same type of crane in other bed.

Super hitch Magnum

I had Torklift make a run of the SHM hitches for the deuce from a frame section I sent them to model after. Look at the thread "finally a 20K hitch for the deuce" to see more pics. The SHM is an excellent hitch.

Man that wrecker bed is gonna kill that bobbers suspension?oh wait i think you're talking about the harbor freight crane in the bed....right?

 

[wehring]

HA!



Good one...

Justin

 

[tm america]

ya you set yourself up for that one....

 

[srodocker]

im doing something similar with mine. im doing the stock rims tho and still have 6x6. i plan on getting the crane end of this month and tires next month.

Is that a harbour freight bed crane? I have looked at it several times and debated on buying that one or building my own with a 3k lbs electric winch. Also I am planning a tire carrier rear bumper as my next project. Think huge Jeep swing out tire carrier. I want all the space usable in my bed, but still carry a fullsize spare and wheel. Havn't got it designed yet, but it's coming.
