Picture Please

Picture of 1965 F250 spare tire mount and bracket assembly needed. I have a bracket behind the rear axle coming down from the frame, and am curious about how the spare was mounted.

Home Made.

The stock under bed factory mounted from frame rail to other rail diagonally from a shouldered bolt and a hole and slot arrangement near the bumper with a sheet metal caged 5/8 nut that used the lug wrench to loosen and tighten.

I have a mickey-mouse, home made bracket behind the rear axle coming down from the frame, and am curious about how the spare was mounted. With this bracket, you aren't the only one!
The "correct" set up is shown here: '64/72 Ford truck parts catalog, Illustration Section 14, Page 5. If you don't have it, it's available on a CD from hipoparts.com for 22 bucks.

You need to see the catalog pic, to see how the correct factory ___I___ cross bracket that mounts diagonally and retains the spare is mounted.

Towards the ends of this ___I___ on each side is (1) J bolt, (1) I bolt (or a bolt w/a loop at the end for a lug wrench or screwdriver to fit into), a special clip used to retain the J bolt to the frame...

All of this may not show up in a photograph.

William,

If you can't say something nice, you won't get any ice cream! LOL
This spare tire mount is how Hackney Brothers configured the truck. Would have been interesting to see the Good Humor man in a white suit change a tire on this truck.

Did you want a pic of the Ford setup, or the hackneyed set up?

Tis a long way from MA to CA, so...the ice cream would never survive the trip.

But if you do get around to offering me some, please deliver it to my aunt in Sandwich.
