Exactly as described. Easy to install.
By Greg Tomerlin
I bought this for my 1995 G20 Chevy van and it fit perfectly. All the hardware was in the box, and it was easy to install. It's a good thing installation is self-explanatory because there was no documentation.The mounting hardware includes two: 1/2" x 13 x 1.5" carriage bolts, two retaining washers and two 3/4" nuts, for securing your spare tire (wheel) to the rack, Also included are: two 5/16" x 1.25" bolts for the door hinge brackets. These screw into nuts welded to the back side of each bracket. Finally, included in the hardware are: two 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and two 5/16" nuts for the door handle-side mounting, These last two bolts require holes to be drilled into the lip of the door. I simply hung the tire rack on the door hinges, held it level (eyeballing it) and marked where the two holes needed to be drilled. I then removed the rack, punched a dent in the center of the two marks, drilled a 5/16" hole for the first bolt, then placed the rack back on the hinges and inserted the first (top) bolt through the door (from the back (from the inside of the door) so that the nut is on the outside -- you'll see why) and secured the nut. Next I put the rack back on the van (over the hinges) then drilled the second hole through the hole in the rack (to make sure it was aligned perfectly). Then I slid the second bolt through the door through the rack (again from the inside of the door) and tightened the nut. Insert the two bolts for the top and bottom hinge-side brackets next and tighten them down. Finally, insert one carriage into the top square hole of the rack (from the back) and twist the retaining washer on to hold the bolt in place. Repeat with the other carriage bolt through the bottom elongated hole which allows it to slide. The retaining washers allow you to hang or remove your spare tire without the carriage bolts falling to the ground. Now grab your spare tire (or better, let your neighbor grab it) lift and hang it on the top carriage bolt (through the spare tire's lug hole positioned at 12 o'clock) and twist the nut on to hold the wheel in place. IMPORTANT STEP HERE: Be sure the second (bottom) carriage bolt goes into the lug hole positioned at 7 o'clock! Doing this will allow you to open the door completely once the spare tire is mounted on the rack. Otherwise (if you use the lug hole at 5 o'clock for the bottom carriage bolt) the spare tire will hit the driver-side taillight lense, preventing you from fully opening the rear driver-side door (and possibly breaking the taillight lense). Now tighten the nuts on the carriage bolts and you're ready to roll.

Will not fit,
By bob
This does not fit 1997 express vans the same as it would the older model with outside hinges. I was not happy putting the tire change on hold.
