I used to have a Craftsman News Binders from 1964-1978. Apparently that was a tidbit of information that I glossed over. On all my cars I have mounted the spare facing up. Mostly because I like to look at the pretty red line when I open the trunk. I'm fairly sure this face down method of storage was consistent across the GM line, and yes, a short J hook is less expensive than a longer one saving a few cents on each unit which does add up to significant $$, but could this have been the only reason?
