My spare had never been on the road, date code is 85. It is cracking severely on one half, on one side. I figure that is the part in the sun, above the bed, with the truck parked facing west for 20 years. So I figure the sun dun it in. The two rears are same date code, light checking. Fronts are some sour old recaps, I'll cut one up for rubber insulators.
GI surplus 'pack covers' are cheap, and work as spare covers, at least in substanard sizes- like SUVs have. I think the covers are reversible too- tan & green camo, so one side will go well with your paint.
