I bought a serious corner brace L bracket at Menard's and actually bolted it directly to the floor of the bed then clamped the pole to that and added a security wire to the bed cover. I can take pics if anyone is really interested.

I've also seen people screw threaded flanges to the bumper and thread galvanized rod into that.
