1932 pickup drivers side spare tire mount

[gajeepguy]

My recently purchased 1932 pickup has a fender mounted spare on the drivers side. Almost all the pictures I see show it on the passenger side. It is decidedly inconvenient on the drivers side as the door hits the spare everytime I get in or out. Was either R.H. or L.H. mount optional? Were dual side mounts available on the pickup? Thanks,

I have 2 pickups with duel side mounted spare tires. 1932 Fords.

Which side was the buyer's choice if he placed a retail order, other wise the default location was opposite the driver. Dual side-mounted spares was an extra-cost option on all '32s as was the single side mount on passenger cars.

Your door should not touch the spare unless you have an oversize tire and/or the wrong door check strap.

On our little 34 pickup we had to down size the spare to a 5.50 tyre so it would physically fit in the well , how could we get this to fit the correct size tyre.

I believe the larger wheel base trucks with wider & larger dia. wheels had appropriately sized wells.
