Spare tire carrier support?

Should there be any bracing in the quarter panel for the stock tire carrier? I know there is in the fullsize Broncos, but there isn't any in my '76 and was wondering if there should be. There is currently and in-bed tire carrier in it now, and the PO included the stock carrier which will probably go back on until I can build a rear bumper with a carrier.

There are some small (about 3" by 8" by 1/4") plates that go on the inside of the sheetmetal. The carrier bolts hold them on.
