went to the carolina vs georgia game today and saw a few ppl flying flags in the bed of their trucks. looked really good. just wondering if anyone knew a good way to do this. thought bout gooseneck and make a pole to fit in the hitch. any other ideas?

 

drill a hole... mount a plate

 

I'm thinking an Arkansas Razorback flag would look good in the back of mine!

 

what I used to do id get s 1/2 in threaded floor flange, bolt it to the floor with self tapping screws, the mount the flag on 1/2 pipe. this way when you going down the hwy it would break off nd the pipe wint bend, and it is easy to remove the flag

just my 2 cents

 

I just took a flat peice of bar stock about two feet long and welded a piece of 1" Metal pipe to it. Bolted it to the top of the bed box just behind the cab on the top lip. I also thought about just making to pieces of bar stock with a simple ring welded to it. I wold bolt one up top and one at the bottom to hold the pole in two places. I use my bed bottom a lot so didn't want anything interfering with drywall or glass sliding all the way into the bed. Fits a regular 1" wooden flag. I don't drive around at highway speeds but it lasted so far at around town speeds 40-45ish with no breakage so far.

Sorry it is the only pic I have.

 

here is one idea

As long as the flag doesn't get ripped due to the flapping in the high winds, I'm OK with it. When I see the flag whipping around and tattered, it pisses me off - it's just plain disrespectful.

 

make sure it is an all weather flag, and if you are going to have it there at nite light it up, (if you want to do it properly)

 

Agreed with the tattered flag bit. I am a member of the Patriot Guard. Hence in winter I cannot ride my Bike to funerals of fallen soldiers. So I needed a flag pole on my truck. The picture I showed of my truck was just before going to such a funeral. I also tend to mount the flag on the truck while at car shows or NASCAR races, 4th of July, Memeorial Day, 9/11 etc.....I don't normally ride around with it going to work or the bar....

 

yea agreed its not going to be a everyday deal was just going to be on game days or going to a race. and 4th other than that i will have it put up.
