Flag Pole Mount for the back of the bed

Hi, I have searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for.
I would like to install a temporary flag mount for the fourth of July.

I found this thread:

and I might be able to do something like this. I am looking for something that I can strap in and easily remove. Any ideas? I do have the D rings in the front if that helps.

thanks in advance.

 

Yeah I saw that too. Its nice, but I do not have a welding machine and it looks kind of difficult to do.

the same size you use...what is that a 3'x5' ? the standard house flag...

 

yeah just one

 

great I will try it this weekend thank you.

how fast do you think I would be able to drive if I secured it tight and also provided some lateral tie down supports?

 

So I found a down rod at lowes for $1.50 on clearance, cut it to the approriate length (i wanted metal so it would not break or bend.) Then I found a 6''x8'' block of wood and drilled the correct size for the down rod. I then wrapped the end of the down rod with duct tape and hammered it into the block.



I strapped it down and I was easily able to go 80MPH+ no problems.
