    Thank you for your interest. The space behind my cab is part of the plan to extend the cab.It worked out to be about 20" after everything else was fitted,just enough for some added leg room and some storage. The plan for the spare tire is to build a mount strong enough to mount it on top of the...

    That's exactly what I was thinking only half as short but old school. If you can see the I beam frame its tapered toward the back and the headache rack is Vertical with the cab. Must be to give a trailer more room in rough terrain.
