My '54 Chevy 3100 has been altered by a PO to have the spare tire mounted
on the passenger side of the bed, between the rear fender and the cab.
Regardless of how it looks, I'm trying for an authentic restoration, so
I'm looking to move the spare back under the bed. However, when this
alteration was done, said PO had to cut up the rear fender and weld a
mounting bracket to the side of the bed. So what I may be doing in the
future is replacing the right rear fender, and possibly the bed side.
Could anyone with experience like this let me know what kind of work this
entails - i.e., is any metal cutting/welding required, etc.?
Thanks.
