Question about spare tire mounts

I've looked here and elsewhere but can't seem to find an exact answer to my question. My 72 doesn't have a spare tire mount and probably never did have the swing mount installed. So I either install a swing or I just stuff the 32" spare in the back of the Bronco. Anyway, my question is, and it might be stupid but, will any year's swing spare tire mount work on my 72 or do I need to stick with the 66-77 range? Again, thanks in advance.

I'm almost positive the later Bronco mounts won't fit correctly, if at all. You'l probably want to stick with the correct '68-77 swing-away mount, or go aftermarket bumper or frame mount (which might be better for the heavier 32" spare).

Thank you! Says it all. I'll stick with the EB ones.
