Flag Mount

So I wanted to mount dual flag poles on my truck without drilling into the bed. I was just thinking of going to bolt to the toolbox with a bracket and big bolts. Would this be enough to hold it driving max of 55 mph?

It all depends on the size flag and the material your box is made of, incredible amount of pressure on the flag and the pole. Make sure your flag is HEAVY DUTY or it will not last long.

Metal tool box. What should I use for a pole. I was thinking PVC as a base then a flagpole set into that. Was going to go to HomeDepot and use a wall mount to bolt to the toolbox. Like one that you put on a house. Then getting bolts and nuts to hold it tight. It's just for holidays and events

Got any ideas? I'm thinking maybe just a metal pipe held in by a bracket (maybe a home flagpole mount)
