flag mount in bed

i'm lookin for ideas to mount a flag in my bed (93 f150). i'd like to fly anything up to a 3x5 flag. I have no problems drilling to make sure its mounted good. Anybody got suggestions on how to do it?

3'x5' can drag pretty heavy. I'd say probably a piece of 3/4 or 1" PVC pipe and a couple of horse shoe clamps bolted to the bed would be the simplest way.

I use a pair of pvc boat rod holders to fly my flags on my truck

I'd be interested in seeing some pics of your mounts, I've been wanting to do this as well.

well, there are several people around here that go to the dunes. I like those I believe the are fiberglass poles?? They have bend to them, but are quite sturdy. Looks cool like cb whips

Use the stake pocket. Find a piece of square tubing that fits in the pocket, weld a pipe the size you need for the flag pole into the square tubing, close the bottom of the tubing, and plant the flag pole.

Reusable and non-permanent.
