Flag question

Hello everyone,

Truck is a '78 F150 Ranger 4x4 w/400 4 speed.

I would like to mount 2 flags on my truck. It currently has a diamond-plate tool box and thinking about buying some mounts from Home Depot and just drilling holes in the box for the mounts. Anyway, I think I have the mounts figured out but I would like to know if you guys have any suggestions for where to buy flags.

I want the absolute cheapest out there, preferably with free shipping. Probably looking to buy about 4 different flags so I can change them out when I feel like it. I tryed USflagstore.com but they do not sell Rebel flags and they are generally expensive.

In a nutshell, where can I get my hands on full size 3'x5' Flags for very little $?

Thanks!

At the very least, PLEASE buy flags that were actually made in the US. Makes absolutely no since flying a flag that was imported from China, IMO. What is your definition of cheap? You dont pay much, you dont get much.

I suggest swap meets, flea markets, and garage sales... might be late in the season depending on where ya live.

My question would be, unless you are in some kind of parade, why would you want to mount flags on your pickup? Nothing but a source of increased drag, let alone the possibility of making your truck a target for vandals, depending on the flag flown.

I will try to make sure the flags are USA, most of these online stores say USA. Going to a gun show this Sunday and will look around there, thanks for the heads up on that one.

As far as price goes, I would really like to spend no more than $10 on a single flag.

I would be primarily flying an American flag and a "Don't tread on me" flag just for around town. The poles I am creating for the mounts will be easily removable so I could take them out when I leave my truck.
