Can anyone tell me if this was something that was installed by GM either factory or dealer, an aftermarket or home grown? Thanks.

Looks as one size fits all unit as it had many punched holes at the raised bracket..
Is that held on with rivets ?

But My truck didn't come with any spare hanger parts. so.. I might be way off..
but I don't think a factory piece would be punched with that many holes to make the part fit more vehicles..
Any name or numbers stamped in it..

It was an under the bed spare tire hanger.
But,someone put it in the bed.
So,yes and no to your question!

Mike.

That looks like a spare tire bracket I bought from J.C. Whitney back in the 70s.
