Flags in Bed

I want to put 2 like 3 x5 flags in the bed of an 08 f250, one on the left and on on the right toward the end of the truck. Does anyone know a good way to mount them or a mounting kit you can buy. I would not like to drill holes in my bed.

Jam them down in the bed caps, that's what I used to do.

this is a simple design and i'm thinking about making a few more to sell seeing as though they are somewhat in demand here and there and my design makes it easy to install on your tool box or to the side of yer bed or even the back ... just need 2 bolts and there you go... i fly a 2x3' USMC flag from mine but have and can also fly a 3x5' flag i have a f150 ext cab short bed and even off the back of my tool box a 3x5' flag stays just inside the bed i can make them in black or polished ... btw i had the 3x5' flag on this pole up to 75 mph on the hwy interstate 20 it flew the pole didn't buckle or bend all it did was flap lol...

I just made a custom triple flag holder the other day. I over engineered everything, but I was able to leave my bed and tool box free of holes. I'm gonna get around to doing the write up soon. So many people ask this question!

Ok, those commercials are awesome haha. Also a prime example as to why the flags need to be properly secured!
