Bill,
if you do not find what you need here, try these guys. They are more into the latter model elcaminos and can probably help you out.

On our '69, the spare stands up behind the passenger seat. There is a vertical bracket that the hold down hooks into. I would imagine that yours would be similar.

The fifth gen has a much larger storage area than the third gen. There is room for a full size tire and then some. I had a fifth in the past and there was a short seat belt (looked like the front belts) mounted there. Slide the spare in and then click the belt to hold it in place. Looked factory, I assume it was.

Okay, then where do you put the flat after you've replaced it with the spare?
