underbed spare tire

I just bought a 1988 f-150 and the underbed spare tire carrier is hanging down and looks ugly. Is there anyway to take it off?

ya that sounds good but its doesn't have the bolt that goes in the middle and where the eye bolt goes to the tire carrier it comes right out not sure if it is supposed to or not. so if you still want it just let me know.
