Bed flags

Want to fly the Don't tread on me and the American flag, how would I rig it up if I don't want to weld or bolt?

zip tie or ratchet strap it to a tie down point in the bed...easy enough

What about a decal? The only reason I mention it is a flag will fray rather quickly if you do much driving at highway speeds.

x2, my murican flag looks like it's been through a Hurricane and I only had it on the back of my truck for five or six days. It was on a wooden post, secured by at least 300 zip ties

It is true that the flag will wear but I'll tell you how I did it without screwing into the bed. I have a drop in liner that aloes a 2x4 to fit in snug toward the middle/top of my bed. I drilled a hole threw a 2x4 that fit and made a wide base that fit below with some old ply. Also drilled and screwed into the ply an added a sand bag. Also I added in a ratchet strap in for security but all was unnoticeable unless you looked in the bed.
