Spare Tire Mount Info Needed

I need some quick help. I am restoring a 67 WM300.
The big heavy cast iron spare tire mount came with
it, but was not mounted. Now that I am putting it
back together, I find that, although the frame is drilled for the mount, and the running board is cut out
for it, the bed side does not have a cut in it for
clearance. There
is no evidence of the bed ever having the sheet metal
mount on it. I have noticed on 4 other 67 and 68 WMs that the frames and running boards are made for the
iron mount. That mount looks like an older version used
on the WDX. QUESTION: Did the WM300s ever use that old
mount? Should I cut my bed to make it fit, since the
mount already fits the frame? I don't want to make it
work if they didn't ever originally have them. I need to know since I am painting the bed walls this week. Thanks,
Tom Jackson
