ABSTRACT:
A spare tire support for a vehicle having a horizontally hinged rear closure has an L-shaped swing bracket secured in the space between the right rear light assembly and the upwardly extending internal frame by bolts through the internal frame. Nuts for these bolts are fastened by removing the rear light assembly to expose the access holes therein. The short leg of the swing bracket is below and spaced from the horizontally extending frame member (typically a box frame). A horizontal swing bar has one end mounted in this space on a hinge bolt which extends from the top of the horizontal frame member and through the short leg of the swing bracket. The horizontal swing bar is moveable between a stowed position below the horizontal frame member and an unstowed position clear of the vehicle rear closure. Joined to the horizontal swing bar (as by welding) is a short bar which extends outwardly sufficiently to clear the horizontal frame and rear bumper, if any. An upwardly extending support bar is joined to the short bar and supports the lugs on which the spare tire wheel is mounted.
