C2 spare tire carriers

[Rex T.]

Is there any difference in spare tire carriers for 63 to 67 Corvettes? I have accumulated several over the years and am not sure what year cars they came from, but I do know they were all removed from mid years. As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Rex, yes is the quick answer. The first carriers, 1963, has a small lip on the tub and the cover. Best I can remember late 63 to the end of production in 67 were all the same.

This is a 63 carrier.

Harry,

That tub has a lip that's very similar vice president Cheney's.

Joe, the front lip is a tiny bit frayed. The photo looks worse than it really is. It took me 2 months to rebuild it. The cover had a 1 inch by 10 inch piece missing and the tub had a 2 inch by 14 inch piece missing. Lot's of cloth and resin and sanding.

Harry,

Only joking about the VP's crooked lip. The tub looks great! I know how hard those repairs are to get neatly done, and tinted properly.
Nice job.

Joe, I just could think of a good comeback line. Maybe something to do with a shotgun.....or bird hunting....
