Introduction: Bicycle Bike Truck Bed Mount
Here's how to make a low cost truck bed mount for your bikes.
Step 1: Materials
- Angle SteelL2"x2"x3/16"x0'-3".
- 1/2"Dia x 4" steel tube.
- 5/16"x5-1/2" all thread rod.
- A regular 5/16" nut.
- A 5/16" wing nut.
- A chop saw
- A welder.
Step 2: Assembly
Center the tube on the Angle Steel and weld it to secure both together.
Cut your all thread rod to length, or use an all thread bolt.
Use either a wing nut on one end or both, or a nut on one end or both. It's importand that which ever you do, you make sure your bike is VERY secure before going down the road.
I attached mine to the inside of my bed on the tail gate. This makes it so i can attach and release my bike without having to get up into the bed. i just lower the tail gate. Now simply remove your front wheel and secure your bike front fork to the mount.
