Assuming you are going to use conventional instead of runflat tires for your truck, where do you want to mount the spare, on top of a toolbox (whether strictly accurate or not) or inside the cargo body?

The 2B1 box with its associated tyre free tool box was fitted to early 13 cabs so not much chance of a factory 12 cab sporting a box with fittings for a spare.

My humble suggestion is to keep the spare in the wife's car fallowing up the rear...

Bruce that's a very expensive optional extra. First I need a wife! then I'd have to buy her a car! I think I'd have better luck hunting down that spare wheel carrier.

More photos, including holes in the bottom of the box that were patched before installation.

Another group, not in logical order as the rusty (pre-work) photos are folllowing the ones with the first coat of paint.

Thank you Gentlemen that's very useful.

I have to wonder if that small compartment that Bob has a POW can in, might be for the funnel as opposed to the POW. There are already brackets on the 15cwt for 4 POW cans, and as I recall you would be hard pressed to fill the truck without the funnel and spout.
