ABSTRACT:
A spare tire mount for pickup trucks having a sidewall with an inner surface and an upper ledge which extends inward, turns downward as a flange, and then turns outward as a lip. A support member engages the outward facing lip of the sidewall with a horizontal flange formed to lay atop the lip, a vertical flange formed to lay horizontally adjacent to the lip. A horizontal threaded aperture is formed competely through the support member. An elongated threaded member engages through the threaded aperture of the support member to press against the inner surface of the sidewall when rotated at its outer end, thereby preliminarily propping the spare tire mount between the inner surface and the lip of the sidewall prior to and during the mounting of the spare tire. With the elongated member extending through a lug hole of the mounted wheel, a handle member, having an end which is internally threaded and formed to provide a bearing surface for contact with the lug hole periphery, is threadingly engaged upon the outer end of the elongated threaded member, and rotated inwardly to bear upon the wheel at the lug hole so as to press and secure the spare tire against the downturned flange of the sidewall. The handle member may be padlocked to a second lug hole to prevent rotation. A protective end cap may be located upon the inner end of the elongated member.
