ABSTRACT:
An adjustable, spare tire mount for a pickup truck that can be quickly installed and removed without requiring either welding or the drilling of holes in the pickup bed. The mount is comprised of a main support structure which carries a latching element which, in turn, has a channel member thereon adapted to receive a flange on the inside of the upper sidewall of the load bed of the pickup. A threaded follower assembly on the main structure cooperates with the latching element to move the channel member into or out of contact with the flange to latch or unlatch the mount to the bed. Slidably mounted on the main support means is the tire securing means which comprises a movable carriage having an adjustable tire mounting means (e.g. telescoping members) mounted thereon. Once the spare tire is positioned on the tire mounting means, a sleeve is positioned thereon and secured thereto by a pin and lock. When the tire is locked on the mount, the threaded follower is obscured and cannot be unthreaded, thereby providing security for the mount and tire.
