Back pack leaf blower

I just bought a Stihl BR600 leaf blower. I need to find a mounting bracket that I can put the blower on and mount it in the bed of a pickup. Stihl did not have anything. I have seen them somewhere before but cannot locate what I need. Northern Tools had one but not sure if it will work. Short of making one myself where would I look? Thanks

If you're simply storing it in the bed, just tie it in. no need for a bracket. I use a bungee cord and tie mine in the front of the bed. FWIW, I run a "BR320. the 600 is AWESOME aint it? I'm gonna buy one soon.

Well it is going in the bed of our brush fire truck. It needs to be secured. I am tossing the idea of a strap around but would like something more secure.

Try a plastic milk crate (or whatever those plastic box type things things are called) thing with a slot cut for the nozzle. Bunge it into that.

That would be perfect to use. never thought of that idea, but it WOULD work. I think there's blower racks on ebay.
