if you don't have the truck picked out yet you may want to get one with the spare tire on the step side fender instead of under the rear of the truck. easier for a 12 yr old girl to get off maybe? otherwise maybe improvise and have the spare tire carrier mounted inside the rear of the box, standing up, like a lot of ranchers/farmers had. then it doesn't matter if the box of the truck is a fleet side or a step side. 58-59 you could get either type of box configuration. some ranchers/farmers had a jack-all jack mounted on the box rail as well. I don't advise these because they are dangerous to use and also they are a bumper jack so the rear bumper would be used to lift the rear of the truck off the ground enough to get the wheel free. then the park brake becomes useless because the wheels are off the ground and the only thing keeping the truck stationary is the wheel blocks on the front wheels.
