ABSTRACT:
The spare tire mount is adapted for use in a pickup truck including a bed having a floor with ribs and grooves running from front to back, and vertically upstanding side walls connected, at their upper edges, to inwardly extending horizontal flanges. The spare tire mount includes a lower unit having a base which rests on the floor of the pickup truck bed and which supports a post. An upper unit fits vertically adjustably over the post and has a bracket which, when the upper unit is adjusted vertically upward, pushes against the horizontal flange of the bed. Securing means are provided for maintaining the base and bracket in snug contact with the floor and horizontal flange, respectively. The upper unit supports means for securing the tire to the spare tire mount. The tire, when secured to the spare tire mount, rests on the base for additional stability.
