/\/\/\ this, both stake holes with a rail running between them would work great, no reinforcements necessary, if the stake holes can handle a ladder rack, sometimes we even load it with treated lumber, it'd definately handle a modern lightweight mountain bike

Why not mount these


HERE (Assuming your toolbox is similar to Mikes)


Then you could modify the tracks to sit on a post for the rear stake holes. That would get your bikes "on the bed rail" and would be as secure as your toolbox and however you decide to clamp the track down. I'd think that a couple of canopy clamps should be enough for the tracks.

Edit, you could probably even attach the front ends of the wheel tracks to the toolbox as well.
