I have no idea if the truck originally came with a spare tire but there was a little indentation for it to sit in.  
Drew and printed the part. Printed 5 of them so I have a few trail spares…

The amount of effort and money spent (Solidworks and Form1) on me making model train parts would make the average person think I am completely crazy. But I by far get your motivation.
