Not unless the spare tire has a cover with a picture of Micheal Jackson on it!.--They look OK on a K5,so why not a pickup??.The spare on my 74 K20 is on the"headache"rack right behind the driver(to avoid blocking your veiw too much),but its a ballbuster lifting a 10 ply 16 inch tire up there,nevermind a big swamper or something.
I have seem lots of trucks around here with tires mounted up front,either on the bumper or in a receiver style front "basket" carrier than can haul a big chest--I dont care for that design,that blocks a lot of air to the radiator,and looks like its clumsy to drive with that thing hanging off the front--other trucks have a spare in the rear trailer hitch receiver,but what happens when its time to tow your trailer??.There really isnt many places to hide a spare,especially a big one.I do know the under the truck factory spare tire carrier sucks--usually rusted to death,your rim rots away under there,and you have to lie in a puddle if its raining to get it out--only to find its flat! /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif--I usually just leave the spare in the bed now(chained to prevent it from rolling away like it did once,and hit another car! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif and to prevent theft.
