    I have those rail bolts with Quickfists that hold my shovel to the bed rail. Amazon has the rail bolts and Quickfists for cheap.

    Sounds like you're looking for "Quickfists." Easiest option is getting some steel/aluminum flat bar, drilling some holes, and calling it a day.

    Quick fists are a great idea but I’d put a slightly oversized section of pvc pipe in the quick fist at the front of the bed as a holder that allows the broom handle to fit in it and just use the rear quick fist to hold the handle tightly else you will need another broom handle or a long grabber tool to reach and release the quick fist holding your broom handle in the front of the bed that you are using to grab stuff that is in the front of your bed.:thumbsup:

    Thank you all. Given the topper clamps… would I need to extend the quik fist mounts to stick out from the track so the broom handle doesn’t interfere with the topper clamps?

    Take at look at this to get an idea of what I suggested (some steel/aluminum flat bar, drill some holes, attach your quickfists, call it a day):
    Low cost quick fist shovel and axe mount | Tacoma World

    All you need is something to attach to the quickfists to (ie: a piece of metal bolted to the track). Going this route, you can customize the quickfist height to wherever you choose to drill the holes. I definitely agree with the guy above though; I'd use a piece of pvc on the cab side mount to capture the handle for easy in/out.

    Makes much more sense now that I looked up the photo thread provided. Thank you.
    Definitely gonna have to look into making a double quik fist mount with the pvc tubes on rear cab.
    For the quikfist, would a single clamp be able to hold a 27 inch shovel without it coming loose? Wouldn’t need it to be used very often and the pvc end holder idea won’t work due to the T shaped handle

    You'd need 2 for a shovel. They're just rubber so they're pretty flexible. They provide a decent amount of clamping force, but not enough for 1 to keep a shovel from slinging around.

    minor tweaks
    Look closely at the quick fist gripping diameter, I picked some up for a project and discovered the grip sizing was slightly too large even though one of their pictures was holding the same accessory as I planned to mount.
