looking for pics of how spare tire, jack bolt, wing etc all items that go in the truck, especially the tire and hold down hardware. etc. 71 cuda

If you have a space saver tire the jack hook goes under the tire on the end then the wingnut holds everything tight to the floor. Hope this helps and the pics aren't upside down!

using a full size spare,
so will the stud go through one of the lug holes or just in the center?
should the tire touch the rear seats cross section frame part?
where can one find the large plate that is above spare?

tire hold-down goes through center of rim, tire comes close to rear seat cross-member, but doesn't touch (at least my 255-14 doesn't), and the plate is the base of the jack flipped upside down...

What would/should a 71 barracuda vert have for a spare?  I don't have the broadcast sheet on mine.  When I bought it in 1983 it had a full size spare in the trunk.

All convertibles should have come with a collapsible spare tire

Thank you.  I think I will stick with a full size.
