    Can't access spare tire on 98 k1500 long bed.

    If this is actually the case, take 1" ratchet strap/ nylon webbing, and guide it over the top of the tube. Pull downward on web strap/tube as somebody guides the factory tire tool through the bumper.

    WTB: Truck wanted - RCSB

    Carfax history reporting has helped me. Many northern vehicles make thier way south via auctions, relocations. Mom is in Myrtle SC, and even though it's southern, salty air eats things. Good luck.
