I think if you search there has been a previous thread, but anyway

This is the one i made, it swings out on a pivot on drivers side, its pretty much been finished for a while, but i have discovered i need to make some kind of latching device to stop it swinging once opened.
These pics are early on

Why do you need a full sized spare? I'd be running a 6.00X16 or 7.00X16 on a 4.5" sierra rim, on the back door. The weight of the spare and carrier is not helpful in a sierra, let alone the hassle of building it.

Just my 2C.
