There are not any specific wheel carriers for the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Fork Mount, # S64701. I reached out to my contact at Swagman and he said that they didn't design it to work this way, but most users will mount the rack 6-8 inches back from the front of the cab and will put their wheel in that space. Using the rack in this way actually locks your front wheel from being removed until you remove the bike itself, so there is even a built in security to using it in this way. It was a cool feature they learned from their users.

We don't have any products that are compatible with this rack to hold the wheel in any other way.
