70 Blazer Tire Rack - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought this 1970 Blazer a few weeks ago. It has this tire rack which I removed because I don't particularly like outside racks and I thought it was aftermarket. The top body mount bolts to nuts that are permanently attached inside the panel. The bottom body mount has a backing plate with nuts that can be reached. Now I'm wondering if this is a factory item. I don't see any access to the upper mount nuts. Looks like they were attached before the panel went on. I was going to weld up the holes but not so sure now. Anybody know if this might be a factory piece?
