Default flag poles

does any one have them in there truck or know an easy way to put a 2 or 3 flag set up in the truck that is removable and without drilling any holes in the bed if possable i have been googling it for days and cant find anything that is simple everything requires bolting to the bed or making some sort of stand that is big and bulky and takes up most of the bed

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.
