Installing a flagpole on your truck bed is a great way to show off your patriotism or express yourself. It also adds a unique look to your truck, and can be done with a few tools and some basic instructions. Here’s how to install a flagpole on your truck bed.
Step 1: Measure the width of the flagpole base and then measure the width of the truck bed. This will help you determine where to position the flagpole so it won’t interfere with any other items you may have in the bed. Mark off this area with chalk.
Step 2: Place four lag screws into the bed of the truck. Make sure they are evenly spaced and centered around your marked area. Drill pilot holes into each lag screw.
Step 3: Place one washer onto each lag screw. Then attach the flagpole base to the lag screws using four nuts. Make sure to tighten them securely so that they won’t come loose over time.
Step 4: Place your flag onto the pole and secure it with bungee cords or rope, depending on what type of pole you have purchased. Make sure it is sitting straight and securely attached.
Step 5: Securely fasten two ropes or bungee cords to either side of the pole,. This will help keep it in place when you drive or if there is windy weather.
After following these steps, you should now have a secure flag pole mounted on your truck bed! Showing off your patriotism or expressing yourself has never been easier!
Conclusion:
Installing a flag pole on your truck bed is not difficult but requires careful measurements and planning before beginning installation. With some basic tools, such as lag screws, washers, nuts, bungee cords/rope, and some patience you can successfully install a flag pole on any make/model of truck bed!
