I'll measure the spare tire carrying channel when I get home and post the dimensions. I also have a spare one that I can measure to see how long that one is.

Edit: My channel is 48" long. The holes for the support rods are 44" o.c. Maybe you need to hit the junkyard to pick up a new one. Too bad you're not in VT, I'd give you this spare one that's been sitting in my garage for 10 years!

I went with the really neat Bronco spare holder.

as far as i can tell theres just a single bolt to the passenger side and the beam crosses over to the drivers side rear, thats the big eye hook style one and it bolts right up to the frame.
How did you fasten the swing-away spare tire carrier to the truck? Did you just use bolts? I was thinking of doing this to my truck, but when i looked at a Bronco at a salvage yard to see how it's connected, mI saw that for broncos they have an extra support or brace on the inside of the corner that the carrier is bolted to. Do you have any added supprot or brace on the truck?
