    Really like these quick fist clamps! Mounted underneath a bakflip cover to the bed rail with 6 inch pieces of steel and t slot nuts.
    Practical Canadian accessories!

    -Total Cost about $50

    -Here are the things you need:
    $11 END OF ROAD Original Quick Fist Clamp for mounting tools & equipment 1" - 2-1/4" diameter, 2 Count (Pack of 1) - 0010
    https://www.amazon.ca/Quick-Fist-Or...ocphy=9001396&hvtargid=pla-420395418179&psc=1

    $18 Te-Co 41406T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped Through T-Slot Nut, 3/8"-16 TPI, 5/8" Height x 7/8" Width x 9/16" Table Slot (Pack of 5)
    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B009SWGLHW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I can't find a few items on Home Depot's website - but here they are:

    -flat steel 1/8x1 1/4x36 (its the same aisle as the screws and bolts)
    -3/8 bolt(2730)(Canadian home depot model number)
    -nut & bolt to go through quick fist(128517)(128425) (Canadian home depot model number)

    The t slot nuts slide into your bed rail, then mount two 6 inch pieces of flat bar(maybe 7inch if you don't have a cover, you will have to measure though) with the 3/8 inch bolt to the slot nuts. Then mount the quick fists with the smaller nuts and bolts on the lower portion of the flat bar. Make sure you pre drill your holes in the flat bar & get yourself some strong drill bits!

    And that's the nicest snow brush I've ever seen. Canadian issue only, probably.
