Flag pole mounting
Hello everyone,
My old truck used to have the two holes on the sides of the bed for a rack where I used to just drop the flag poles in and then ratchet strap them in place. My 2017 doesn't have those holes. how are people mounting their flags? I don't want to do any drilling so I was thinking of making a 2x6 frame and just sliding the flag poles into the frame and then ratchet strapping the frame in place. The only thing that sucks about that is the frame will probably weigh close to 40 pounds. What are y'all doing with your flags? Excuse my poor drawing.
Thank you,
Nick

I think I watched a Utube video on cutting out the bed cap rail to access the forward bed stake holes. Maybe it was a thread here. Anyways, I captured a screen shot of the measurement diagram.
