Default external spare tire?

I have a 94 s10 Blazer. It didnt come with the spare tire carrier on the tailgate.

I would like to install one. Were all of the bodies capable of accepting this option or do I actually need to do some fab work to that corner (inside) to mount one?

I just want to get the spare tire out of the back, it takes up too much room. I figure I could probably get one of these spare tire carriers at the junk yard and recondition it easy enough.

Thanks for that. I was hoping the reinforcement would already be in the body. In the case that it isnt, the process doesnt look to bad.

I figured there would be a thread here somewhere, thanks for finding that for me.

thought 94's were still the first gen body style? the swing out carriers for the first gens are different. But some 4 doors did come with them so all of them probably have the reinforcement. My blazer didn't really have any but my carrier is holding out good.

Your welcome I was already looking for it and seen your post under my search so it wasnt a big deal.

Your absolutly correct about the 94 still being a first gen. But Id suspect its mostly the same process. I still have to pick up some strips of steel to reenforce my body with before I start even looking at putting mine on.
