I have a 66,Chevy long bed truck with the spare tire mount on the drivers side fender.It is different than the same on the shortbeds I have.The spare hanger is a little further forward,the cut-out in the fender is the same,but there's only one support rod going thru it.And it mounts the wheel at the same height as the shortbeds.
Completely different from the longbed shown.Must have been at least 2 ways to do it.Maybe one is dealer and the other is factory?
I'll try to post a picture of mine in the morning.
Mike.
I agree with you. You have the correct long bed spare mount there. I just used the other pic for reference of a long bed to show they mount lower, but the pic i had above isn't factory. All the factory spare fender mounts I have seen for 60-66 were on the driver side.
