Info needed: TOOL BOX Chevrolet c15a no. 12

[Paul Edwards]

Currently fitted to the truck are some nice pattern Trak Grips tyres (which I believe from memory are RF), so good that Barry Ring used them as his pattern tyres for his new run of "Trak Grips". so I'll run with these for the moment and mount any spare in the cargo box. I'm sure I've seen a picture somewhere with the spare wheel on the roof of the cab.

If I were to mount on the tool box then I have to source the tyre holder and that's rarer than rocking horse poo!

Thanks.

Other considerations- a wheel and tire (worse if runflat) are heavy for lifting into the bed, even worse onto to the top of the toolbox, I wouldn't want to try to do it solo.

Putting a spare on the cab roof may have been done by someone, but I doubt it was an officially sanctioned fitting. I think the roof would be at risk of buckling and it would have been a miserable job wrestling it up there.

Yes, very heavy what with the stamped rims, thick runflat sidewalls and, if you're luck, they are full of calcium powder.
