Does you bed have the pockets in the top, near the tailgate. I have seen a lot of people place the pole in the pockets and secure the in with bungee cords (this may not be the option you are looking for, just letting you know what I have seen).

 

Drill holes in the bed ????
Strap that pole down with a Red Necks best friend **Duct Tape**

 

Another option is this

I have one of these. It's not in the bed, but goes in the hitch so no drilling in the bed.

I would do that but I need the hitch for other uses and still want the flags

 

Fill some buckets with Quick set concrete and a PVC pipe capped and sink capped end first down into bucket and let dry. Can be friction fit or even duct tape the end. Just don't want concrete coming up pipe where pole has to go. Select pipe size according to flag pole size. Also leave enough pipe above bucket to drill thru PVC and flag pole to run a bolt thru and nut it with lock washers or better yet, use locktite. Keeps pole in pipe. Ratchet strap the buckets against the back of cab or tailgate. Never did it, but sounds like it would work........Nah, I would do this and just make it a double to hold 2 flags.

It looks good and all but I need my truck bed as well.

So I just bought two of these and going to see if I can't mount at end of bed where the tail gate is.

 

I took a piece of PVC pipe and took a rag and put it in between the bed and cab. there are ridges you can put in between and it won't move a bit. Had it on for a weekend with no issues.

very cheap and perfect for what I wanted it for. I only fly it on forth of July weekend so its perfect for that.

 

Saw this video right after I watched the one posted above... no drilling and bed is still completely usable.

 

Something tells me this guy has your answer.....lol.

Yea that looks like the best option except I have a roll n lock tonneau cover and so I have caps over the holes. Guess I should've specified that in the original post.

 

Lots and lots of great ideas for putting a flag in the truck bed:
