Chevy K5 - rear bumper with tire carrier?

    Hi folks:

    I need a good rear bumper/swing-out tire carrier for my K5. There are several online, but they are expensive (over $1k) and the shipping is way expensive (like $300!).

    So: do you all know anyone who is willing/able to fab up a great one for similar or less money?

    I really want it to be heavy and "bomb-proof" with as little sway/rattling as possible. I saw a home-fabbed one once that swayed a lot and rattled like hell - don't want that! My tires are 33s, I might go to 35s eventually. Thanks for all input!

    Kevin used a guy in Loomis that he really liked. Jeff told me you might know Ryan Piggot? He has really awesome fab skillz!

    Um...what?

    He's in Lincoln. I plan to go back when I'm ready with my other welding projects. He does great work at a reasonable price.
