spare tire mount rear attaching pic

ok, can someone post a pic on how the rear part of the tire carrier attaches to the frame? is there a bolt? or a catch? I do not have a hole in my frame where a bolt would attach? any help would be appreciated

On my bumper,below and right of where some idiot used a torch to rid of the pintle hook is a bolt hanging. That is where the tire carrier rests. The other end is the bracket just above and to the left of the pumpkin. Hope this helps...Ken

Hey Ken, is that you in the pic?

No, but we do have the same barber ; p

This was the 1st time I drove the truck back in November '09. I went around the block to a shop for a complete lubrication. The only changes since then noticable in the pic is a new exhaust system and tires. How do I fix that darn bumper/pintle? Guess I need an artist with a cutting torch and a welder.

Find a scrap frame with a good rear crossmember and replace yours with donor trucks.

So the carrier runs on an angle to the right side the pintle, I was thinking it ran straight back, I am assuming you need to tighten and loosen the nut to remove the hanger.

I will look for the hole in the frame when I get home.

Thanks

Actually its a bolt that goes in the frame...kind of long...think I have an imagine somewhere...maybe later I can post that...

Yes, it runs at the angle.

luckily, the hole is there and the threads are intact, anyone have the lenth of the bolt? if not I will figure it out when I put the tire up

Thanks for the pic and info

Duane

I think I posted those once...lets see...

Well...I dont see the specs off hand anymore...but I do have the pic of the bolt:

Maybe someone else can measure for you...


I found a thread that has pics of an installed carrier...not the best but it might help...and this is with an oversize tire and the stock carrier is modified a little but it does how the basic idea.

I have been looking for a spare tire carrier for my truck but have been unsuceesful in locating one. Do the Civvy trucks of the same era have the same carrier. I walked through J&W's salvage yard looking at full size Jeeps and I did see some carriers that were the same design but they looked too short. I was thinking if I could find two of them I could cut a section out of one to lengthen the other. Didn't mean to hijack the thread but when I saw the pic it reminded me of it.

The 63-70 J300/J3000 Civi. trucks have the same carrier. The M715 frame is based off the 126" wheel base J300/J3000 frame.

if you look long enough you will find one on here, I have gotten every hard to find item I needed by watching the boards, wanted posts etc.

Hey Duane...there is a pretty good picture of a tire mounted in this manual towards the bottom.

Here are a few more I took with my iPhone the other morning.

Overview:

Rear attachment point, looking down the little tube they give you to stick a tire iron into to lift the whole unit up and down to give a little leverage:

Another view of the rear attachment point - looks like you don't have to undo the bolt all the way - just enough to get it to slide out the slot:

Forward looking view of the front hinge:

Side/Rearward looking view of the front hinge... it's welded on to the crossmember.

Side view of the hanger itself, showing the little hump that's supposed to keep the tire from sliding around:

The peace that carries the threat is a part spot welde into the rear cross member. Mine decided to forget its welding spots and therfore I had to weld something the frame with the propper thread for the bolt. It is hanging on the right side of the rear cross member beside the trailer hitch. So the pis of the pic of brute4c is not correct for the rear mounting.
