Just finished replacing the spare tire with an original size so the carpeted piece in the trunk lays flat like it should, however there was no way to an hot the spare. Our quick solution was to weld a nut to the floor pan in the proper spot, it works but is ugly! No one is allowed to look under my car now as I am embarrassed on how it looks but like I said, it works. What is supposed to be under there?

Thanks for posting that Rob, what does it attach to? Do you weld it in place?

Yes, it is welded to the trunk floor.

My '72 was just tacked on one side. Always thought it was odd but appeared to have been that way from the factory.

If you are missing the mount in the front just mount the spare tire in the rear trunk!
