Hi Bronco0015, welcome to Bronco Zone. The swing out tire carriers are around. If you do a quick search on EBay, there are 2 on there right now. (Pretty pricey though)
I would suggest that you also try local auto recyclers in your area. (I'm pretty sure that used is your only option.)
Good luck
Cheers

Related to OP, anyone have any insight/instructions?advice about removing and restoring the rear tire carrier? I'm considering doing so and having it powder coated.

The bolts are usually rusty, take out the RH tail light and spray them with deep Creep penetrating fluid for a couple days before you try, Use a 6 point socket and work them back and forth. If they move, keep spraying and working each bolt back and forth bit, by bit. Patience will pay off here. The bolts are hard to find, and if they break, you get to learn how straight you can drill.
Good luck

Mine came out fine. I've had it all powder coated. Need to reinstall now.

That's great! My 79 is a California truck and 3 of the bolts broke off.
Post a pict so we can see the results once its back on.

Don't have it all back together yet because of my hand, but I think it turned out really nice.
Nice rebuild of the tire carrier. I sanded and repainted my ‘96 EB Bronco carrier in place. Tried to remove the corner bracket bolts but one broke so decided in place rehab worked for now. I keep all of the moving parts lubed with silicone spray. Going to sell my Bronco this year as retirement approaches.

Would you happen to have a hinge pin for the corner support horn for a '94 Eddie Bauer?

Curious whether you had any issues getting your carrier to latch securely after your refurbishment? Did you replace the latch springs and/or latch striker sleeve? I can't get mine to latch securely.
