Side mount on a ‘25 pickup
“Original” Smith just installed a side-mounted spare on his 1925 roadster pickup. Looks sharp, almost sporting - and really changes the look of the car.

Re: Side mount on a ‘25 pickup
Me wonders how stable the tire sits. I dont see an upper attachment to the body. Maybe well hidden.
Clean & attractive as expected.

Re: Side mount on a ‘25 pickup
looks like it is held in place by using the inner bolts that bolt the running board and the fender in place. Neat work, requiring no new holes. Extra support/stability could be had by extending the lower mounting base to utilise the outer bolts also, again drilling no new holes.
It sure beats making a mounting from scratch.

Re: Side mount on a ‘25 pickup
I see the struts going to the body above the splash aprons. Thats the extra attachment that limits the wiggle. Good show.
Being an Original Smith car, I hesitate(Not really) to point out that the spare is mounted incorrectly on this carrier.
Forgive me Larry.

How's that, John ? I was always learned to have the stem pointing down to prevent water entering.
